  I do see your point. But i'm guessing that this myth is one that originated in Britain? Because I've never heard of it. The Holy Grail is something known world wide as far as i can tell. So if the Philosopher's Stone is an area-specific myth, I can understand why they changed it. But knowing now where the name originated, I do wish they had left the title alone.

  Me: It's not "an area-specific myth" as far as I know, it's the same in Spain and France, in fact, the real Nicholas Flammel was French, or he did live in France. And there were Spanish alchemist trying to discover the philosopher's stone five hundred years ago. Its Spanish name is "piedra filosofal", more or less the same name. If I'm not mystaken, the philosopher's stone is a well known myth all through Europe, at the very least.
