Alchemist Order: Middle to Upper Society: Those that deal with the infusing of Extraordinary capacities into a substance that will later impart that Ability to another are known as Alchemists, both to themselves and others. This Infusion may be done into any sort in items that are applied to a person internally or externally in the manner of Potions, Elixirs, Oils and Powders (and such) from any Extraordinary Ability (except Psychogenic) possessed by the Alchemist and as described in the Alchemy Ability. Their organizations are found in larger cities, and often at the court of a leader. They are recognized by Demonurges, Elementalists, Mages, Warlocks and such Nobles as need and can afford their services. Traditional meeting places include private laboratories, places of learning, and at shops that deal in chemicals.
