Alchemist
"The instability of the mind only leads to the explosiveness of practice."
An alchemist does not merely study the world; they take it apart and put it back together differently. They are found at the edges of forests at dawn, scraping resin from bark, cataloguing minerals from riverbeds, pressing petals into notebooks that would terrify a layperson. Everything they gather becomes something else in their hands: a draught that sharpens the senses, a binding that makes iron hold like something older and stronger than iron.
Their relationship with Enchanting magic is not incidental. To an alchemist, potion-brewing and item-enchantment are the same discipline expressed differently. One transformation is temporary; the other is permanent. Both require the same obsessive precision, the same respect for what a substance can bear before it breaks.
They are isolated by reputation as much as by habit. Other classes trust them when they need something. They trust nobody in return. That, too, is part of the practice.
Abilities
Cauldron Codex
The Alchemist maintains a Cauldron Codex: a personal record of every Elemental Prefix and Spell they have learned to brew. The Codex does not occupy a Bag slot. It begins empty and grows through play.
To add an entry to the Codex, the Alchemist must Extract a known item. Extracting destroys the item permanently. On destruction, its Elemental Prefix is added to the Codex as an Oil formula, or its Spell is added as a Potion formula. An item with neither an Elemental Prefix nor a Spell cannot be Extracted.
The Alchemist may only brew Oils and Potions that appear in their Codex.
Brew
Once per day, the Alchemist may brew up to 3 items total from their Cauldron Codex. The 3 uses are a shared pool across both types. Unused brews carry over; they do not reset.
The Alchemist may brew any combination of Oils and Potions from their Codex.
