In any case, I transcribed something from the opening of an anime and I was hoping I could get a check of my transcription and translation. The page is here and I've written down the first 30 seconds.
錬金術は物質を理解、分解、再構築する科学なる。され ど万能の技にはあらず。無から有を生ずることまとわず 。何かを得ようと欲すれば必ず同等の対価を支払うもの なる。これすなわち錬金術の基本「等価交換」になり、 錬金術師に禁忌はあり、それは人体練成なる。何人も犯 すことなかれ。

科学なる ＞ 科学なり
まとわず ＞ あたわず（能わず）
ものなる ＞ ものなり
になり ＞ なり
禁忌はあり ＞ 禁忌あり
人体練成なる ＞ 人体練成なり
You may want to re-study the auxiliary verb なり. You appear to firmly believe that なる is the infinitive form. That is probably why you keep hearing the wrong form.

Alchemy is the science of understanding, breaking down and reconstructing matter. However, it is not an all-powerful technique; something cannot be created from nothing. In order to gain something, something of equal value must be given. This is the fundamental of alchemy "Equivalent Exchange". There is a taboo amongst alchemists, "Human Transmutation", which may not be broken by anyone.

Excellent, which is weird when you are not hearing everything correct.

Apologies if the punctuation is a little weird, I couldn't decide what to do a lot of the time. That being said, I'm pretty sure I've heard it before, but なる is being used as the copula (です) right? I think I'll wait till my transcription has been checked before I ask anymore questions.

なり, not なる
