How will alchemy work? Will it be like it is now and that any one can do it, or will you need some sort of magical training to get you started? Will we be able to make varying strengths of potions? What I mean is right now I can make a bulls strength potion that has the same power and duration as a level 3 spell caster. Will I be able to make it last longer or make it maximized so it will give max amount of strength?

My idea is to give potions levels of potency say 1-10 with sub levels a-c. How it would work is that you start making potions at level 1 a. As you progress in experience you make them at level 1 b, 1 c then to level 2 a. The sub levels would make it so your level potion lasts longer. It also could be used as uses.

Let me give an example. Say I have a level 1 c bulls potion and I need a bit of a strength boost to smash a door down. So I take a sip of my potion turning it into a level 1 b and I'm able to knock the door down but lose the strength quickly. On the other hand I could be going into a huge battle so drain the whole level 1 c potion. The effects are that it lasts longer and/or gives a bit more strength.
