Not necessarily, Septan. The premise of Alchemy is transmutation, and it's goals are Immortality and Gold. They are seen as synonymous, because Gold, unlike quicksilver, is immortal : it melt but doesn't burn, and can be returned to it's initial form. The food problem of Rubedo could be solved... if she was wearing a Ring of magical sustenance erasing the need for sleep, food and water... or if she was made from Philosophers' Stone (and/or Caloric Stone).
