[98rbake]

 

Special Summon 1 Effect Monster from either player's graveyard; its original ATK becomes half its original ATK for the rest of the Duel (even when banished, in the graveyard, in the Main or Extra Deck, or in the hand). If a Special Summoned monster would be destroyed by battle or by card effect: You can banish this card from your graveyard; negate the attack or activation and destroy that card, also, that Special Summoned monster's original ATK becomes half its original ATK for the rest of the Duel (even when banished, in the graveyard, in the Main or Extra Deck, or in the hand). You can only activate each effect of "The Forbidden Alchemy" once per Duel.

Special Summon 1 Effect Monster from either player's graveyard to your side of the field, and if you do, it cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects for the rest of this turn. Regardless, its original ATK becomes half its current original ATK for the rest of the Duel (even when banished, in the Graveyard, in the Main or Extra Deck, or in the hand.) You cannot Summon other monsters the turn you activate this effect, except Extra Deck monsters that list the Special Summoned monster as a Material. If an Effect Monster is destroyed by battle: Banish this card in your graveyard; Special Summon that monster to its original owner's side of the field, and if you do, its original ATK becomes half its current original ATK for the rest of the Duel (even when banished, in the graveyard, in the Main or Extra Deck, or in the hand.) You can only activate each effect of "The Forbidden Alchemy" once per Duel.

I hope these new specifications balance it a little better. CnC please!

Well it's unique. You might want to consider a few things that are really hard to remove can become ridiculously hard to remove with this out. Think Shaddoll Midrash.

 

Also, the way your effect is worded, you are Special Summoning a monster as a cost: you effectively made a quickplay monster reborn which cannot be negated -since if it did, you'd keep the monster and it would not lose its ATK. You did not even restrict its targets in any way besides being effect monsters. It can be used freely for any sort of material and keep its effects. You should either throw in more restrictions to its targets, or give it more conditions posterior to activation (like losing your Battle Phase or not being allowed to Special Summon for the rest of the turn).

 

And definitely make the SSing not be a cost. That's incredibly broken.

I think the lore would be easier to follow and conduct if it's worded this way: 

Target 1 Effect Monster from either player's Graveyard; Special Summon the target to your side of the field and have its original (printed) ATK halved for the rest of the Duel. It cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects during this turn. You cannot Summon other monsters during this turn, except monsters in your Extra Deck that list the monster Special Summoned by this card's effect as a Material. When an Effect Monster is destroyed by battle: you can banish this card in your Graveyard and target that monster; Special Summon the target with it's original (printed) ATK halved for the rest of the Duel. You can only activate each effect of "The Forbidden Alchemy" once per Duel.
