Alchemist
You extract the magical essence of ingredients into potions, elixirs, poisons, and salves.
Skilled tinkerers obsessed with unlocking the secrets of matter, alchemists brew potions and elixirs using strange ingredients. Their knowledge of arcana fuels their experiments, while their understanding of medicine allows them to create (somewhat unpredictable) healing concoctions. Their alchemical creations can be surprisingly potent, though results are never guaranteed.
