You may call DETECT ALCHEMICAL by close examination of anything, and tell if it either is, contains, or is currently under the effect of, something alchemical. You have (access to) IC knowledge of all published alchemical preparations. You have some idea of what special ingredients are capable of, and are capable of reading up on them, or experimenting with them (you may ask the refs about special ingredients, and what they may do).

1.) You may create and administer size 1 potions.
2.) Through an increased understanding of alchemy at this level, you can now produce all preparations listed as "Miscellanious substances".
3.) You may administer size 2 potions.
4.) Through an increased understanding of alchemy at this level, you can now produce all preparations listed as "Lesser Psychological Effects", plus sedative and Go-juice.
5.) You may administer size 3 potions.
6.) Through an increased understanding of alchemy at this level, you can now produce all preparations listed as "Greater Psychological Effects".
7.) You may administer size 4 potions.
8.) You may produce all listed preparations of size 2 or below.

Remember that although Elixirs take twice amount of lyrium and any exotic ingredients as their corresponding potion, for the purposes of making them they count as the same size as their corresponding potion.

Through practise and persistance, you learn to create one of the alchemical preparations listed in alchemy-potions.
To create a larger variant of a particular potion, you must in general known how to produce the smaller sizes of the same potion.
If a potion tree has multiple potions at a single level (for example, the Immunity tree), you must be able to make any 2 potions from that level before you can learn to make any potions from the next tier.

You are able to condition lyrium so that it may absorb spiritual or magical essence, and you are able to research and administer exotic potions containing up to (level) doses of conditioned lyrium. Conditioned lyrium counts as an exotic ingredient, including for the purposes of Alchemical Synthesis.

1.) You may get an idea of what kind of alchemy is present in a preparation or elixir, or perhaps from a container which recently contained it. (This will be "healing potion, blade venom, ingestive potion etc.")
2.) You will be given some idea as to any exotic ingredients used in something which pings to DETECT ALCHEMICAL. You are sometimes able to identify alchemical effects, and ingredients used, from the traces they leave behind, even if they are no longer present or active.
3.) You are able to identify the effect of any non-exotic alchemy, and most exotic alchemy. You may call RECOGNISE ALCHEMICAL instead of DETECT ALCHEMICAL, and are permitted to read the OOC label attached to an elixir physrep without consuming the elixir.
4.) You are able to recognise subtle differences between the preparations of different alchemists, and may be able to tell which alchemist prepared a particular dose by comparison to another preparation made by that person, or if you are otherwise very familiar with their preparations.

Each level represents an allowance of 2 doses of lyrium per fortnight.

Each level represents an allowance of 3 doses of lyrium per fortnight.

Each level allows you to prepare 1 "size" worth (that is, two ingredients' worth) of elixirs per fortnight. An elixir requires twice as many ingredients to produce, but can be used by anyone (even non-alchemists) and will keep for up to a fortnight.
For example, with Alchemical preparation 4, you may prepare 4 size 1 elixirs, 2 size 2 elixirs, 1 size 2 and 2 size 1 elixirs, or 1 size 4 elixir.

You are able to prepare exotic ingredients (except conditioned Lyrium), and may research and administer exotic potions containing up to (level) of them.
