I've decided to give Alchemists a try and so far i'm enjoying them..

1.
Just off the top of my head, i had an idea about potion binding. Once you've
mastered all the various formula, a skilled alchemist can attempt to combine
multiple potions that have effects that are conducive to combination.

So you could bind an Unstun with an unpain to achieve the effects of both in
one potion. This could even open up the opportunity to find new combinations
rather than spells-skills derived from the preexisting.

I have the feeling that this was probably suggested before and it also
probably has a wealth of possibilities or.. potential for abuse so.. it's more
a thought and someone will point out why it's not a good idea...

As much as I love this idea, it sounds like it would be some effort to set up.
I don't see the possibility for abuse -- there's a minimal difference between
having one potion do two things, and having two potions, in the field of
utility/defense. Offense, yes, absolutely, a potion that does 5x blasts all at
once seems excessive. But I don't think you were asking for that anyhow.

Let me review the code and see if there's a way to do this that doesn't
explode.
