Overview

Combining magic with an intricate knowledge of potion-making, Alchemists excel at a variety of roles.

Alchemists use arcane magic to create offensive potions, curative admixtures, and deadly poisons. With the ability to excel as offensive casters, support healers, and simple weapons, Alchemists have a lot of choice in terms of their party role.

With fewer weapon and armor proficiencies than Artificers, but a larger variety of spells, Alchemists must rely on avoidance and their spellcasting to fight and stay alive

• Alchemists mix magical components to create powerful arcane effects and coat their weapons in vile toxins.

• Like other spellcasters, a wizard has a limited number of spell points and spell slots.
• Bonus Spell points are awarded for high Intelligence.
• Alchemist's can learn their spells during the level up, or they can learn them by inscribing an Alchemical Recipe
• All spells have Somatic components, and Alchemist spells do invoke Arcane Spell Failure. Some spells have Material components. Alchemists have their own Material Components.

Primer

Every Alchemist spell is part of one of three Primer Categories: Crimsonite, Gildleaf, and Cerulite (Red, Yellow, and Blue respectively). Using spells with different Primers in succession causes a Reaction; Verdanite , Orchidium, or Pyrite (Green, Purple, or Orange respectively). The game remembers your current Reaction as well as the Primer of the last spell you cast. Using a Crimsonite spell and then a Gildleaf spell will put you in the Pyrite state (with a sub-state listing of Gildleaf, for the last spell you cast). Casting Crimsonite or Gildleaf spells while in Pyrite will keep you Pyrite (but will change your sub-color to Gildleaf or Crimsonite). If you were to then cast an Ceruleite spell, it would remove you from the Pyrite state and change your Primer to Ceruleite. In short: The last two Alchemist spells you cast determine your Reaction. Each of the Reactions does something to you, and the Enhancement Trees hook into them significantly.

• Pyrite Reaction: +2 Fire, Cold, Electric, Acid, and Poison Spell Power per Alchemist Level. (+40 at 20 Alchemist)
• Verdanite Reaction: +2 Positive and Negative Spell Power per Alchemist Level (+40 at 20 Alchemist)
• Orchidium Reaction: +2 Physical Resistance Rating per Alchemist Level (+40 at 20 Alchemist)
• When you change reactions, you'll get a large bonus that corresponds to the Reaction you moved to for 12 seconds:
  • Pyrite Reaction: Fire, Cold, Electric, Acid, and Poison Spellpower equal to (10 + quadruple your Alchemist level) and a -20% Enhancement Bonus to Spell Point Cost.
  • Verdanite Reaction: Positive and Negative Spellpower equal to (10 + quadruple your Alchemist level) and Transmutation and Conjuration DCs equal to (1 + 1 for every 5 Alchemist Levels).
  • Orchidium Reaction: Physical Resistance Rating and Elemental Resistance equal to (10 + triple your Alchemist level).
  • With some exceptions, the following applies:
    • Crimsonite spells govern Elemental and Poison damage (fire cold acid electric and poison) and melee/ranged imbues.
    • Gildleaf spells govern Positive and negative healing/damage, Crowd Control, and Debuffs.
    • Cerulite spells govern Defensive abilities and mitigation, buffs, and utility spells.
