Metaphysicist 

1.) Someone who works in Metaphysics. AKA Metaphysician. But that is a faulty term, as a Metaphysician would obviously work in metamedicine - whatever that is. The root of metaphysics is physics and those who work in physics are physicists, thus Metaphysicist.

2.) A Moderator of the Better Living Through Chemistry (BLTC) forum totse.com

An Alchemist was just one subtype of Metaphysicist.

Metaphysics 

I, as a philosophy major who actually studies this stuff, will post a real definition for metaphysics since many definitions are bullshit for the most part.

There are two kinds of metaphysics:
-General metaphysics (universal)
-Special metaphysics (particular)

General metaphysics is the study of ultimate reality as in the big picture of reality and is done empirically by most contemporary philosophers. Items of study in general metaphysics are categories, universals, attributes etc. This is not necessarily the study of any afterlife or upper reality; that subject is a matter of special metaphysics. Universals by D.M. Armstrong is a good example of what general metaphysics is.

Special metaphysics has potentially an infinite number of sub branches, each studying one particular subject. One such subject may be ghosts and spirits but most contemporary philosophers don't take this particular subject mater seriously. Topics that are taken seriously are philosophy of mind and psychology, personal identity, and aesthetics.

Unlike physics which studies concrete objects, metaphysics studies abstract objects like mathematics, logic etc.

1. In a hypothetical situation:

Ray Comfort: I call my paranormal investigation metaphysics to sound scientific.

Me: Most metaphysicians don't take your definition seriously.

2. General metaphysics

Do two red blocks share a universal property of the color red or do they have their own instance of having the color red? That is to ask is there a universal thing called "the property red" that exists in more than one place at one time or is there no such thing?

3. Special metaphysics (personal identity):
Is a fetus identical to a person in the future? If so then the fetus is a person. If not then it is not a person.

Metaphysics 

Not total bullshit and not the truth either, sort of like dreaming. Or, to be less polite, sort of like religion, art and morality.

In Metaphysics we are in the realm of ideas.

Metaphysics can only take us so far.

To know more would require the study of the physiology and history of the evolution of organisms and concepts.
