I have been wondering how to do this. Alchemy seems like a very versatile skill, and I challenge the playground to optimize it. GO!

So are we talking about 2E, 3E, 4E, GURPS, or Mage: The Ascension?

Alchemy by RAW is crap. Ditch it and start from scratch.
Theophrastus Phillippus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracelsus) commands it!

(You can't argue with a guy named Bombastus. Is your name Bombastus? No? Didn't think so...)

FWIW, my take on D&D alchemy worth caring about (http://vaultsofnagoh.blogspot.com/2009/03/alchemy-revisited-or-they-call-me-mr.html) (ie: level-appropriate effects)
