There's this thing I've been studying called "equivalent exchange", wherein something of equal value may be substituted for an end one wishes to achieve. IOW - Energy in = Energy out, Mass = Mass, etc.

It only relates to Alchemy, which is a long-forgotten art, but it seems funny that even those who ventured to turn lead into gold understood that you can't have something for nothing.
