Forgefire Automaton
Artifact Creature — Construct
Prototype (You may cast this spell for . It's a 3/2, has the colours of this cost and keeps its abilities and types.)
At the beginning of your upkeep, return target creature with power less than Forgefire Automaton's power from your graveyard to the battlefield. Its base power perpetually becomes equal to Forgefire Automaton's power. (Perpetual effects that are given to cards are permanent regardless of what zone those cards are in and what zone they move to.)

Unfortunately, Alchemy cards run on their own rules that aren't explained to us for some reason, so we can't refer to an official rules document. But I don't see any reason to think why this isn't working as intended?
AFAIK, perpetual changes aren't copiable characteristics. I run Arming Gala and Scute Swarm in a Brawl deck on there. I just think of them functionally as dry-erase stickers.
It does change the P/T of the card though; it's not just a reminder that the change will apply as a creature permanent. Arvad, Weatherlight Smuggler in the graveyard stops being a target for, like, Forgefire Automaton if it gets too big.
Layers just really aren't sticking in my head. I read through them, understand them, then confuse them again within the month. Is there some change that could be applied to a card (or just a permanent, in paper) on a layer whereby it's a copiable characteristic for a Clone or something? Just so as I can test it to see if perpetual changes ever get copied.
I don't think there are any perpetual clones.
