A unity of all three. Alchemy exists on various 'levels.' The chemical transformations taking place can be explained scientifically (and it could appear as magic to someone who doesn't understand of the science of chemistry.) Magic also exists in the associated spiritual transformations- internal alchemy, where inner potential is actualized. Art is the skillfulness and inspiration involved.
I can relate alchemy to music. There is a science to sound and the 'way' to play an instrument. There is the art of becoming adept at playing (talent) and being able write/create music. And I believe the 'magic' happens when a player 'loses themself' in the music. Oftentimes, artists will serve as a medium and the music will play 'through' them. Very exciting.
