**Alchemical Channeling** is a ritual performed by an Aavegotchi that harnesses Alchemica from the surrounding Gotchiverse atmosphere and releases it nearby the Aavegotchi.

To perform Alchemical Channeling, an Aavegotchi must visit an [Alchemical Aaltar](https://docs.gotchiverse.io/gameplay/farming/broken-reference) it has permission to channel from (see [Access Rights](https://docs.gotchiverse.io/gameplay/access-rights)) and initiate Alchemical Channeling.

Each Aavegotchi can perform **one** Alchemical Channeling every 24 hours.&#x20;

After each channeling, the Alchemical Aaltar has a cooldown period, which gets reduced with each level of upgrading.&#x20;

Once the Alchemica has been harnessed from the Aaltar, it then gets transferred to the Aavegotchi. A portion goes directly to the owner of the Aavegotchi (or to the Gotchi Pocket), and the rest gets distributed nearby on the surface in a process known as **Spillover.**

**The level of the Alchemical Aaltar determines the Spillover Radius, Spillover Rate, and also the cooldown before the next Channeling can be initiated.**&#x20;

The exact amount of Alchemica received depends on the channeling Gotchi's Kinship Score. The exact formula for calculating the amount based on Kinship is:

Thus, higher Kinship Scores result in higher Alchemical Channeling amounts.
