You gain the following abilities:

• Formula Book: You gain a collection of various alchemical concoctions you can create on the fly. At 3rd level, you gain 4 formulae. At 6th, 9th, and 12th level, you gain 2 additional formulae. A formula grants you a supply of reagents used to make the corresponding item of the same name, allowing you to use the ability of the formula after taking a bonus action to craft it. Alternatively, instead of crafting it as a bonus action, you can make it as part of your movement on your turn, however this cuts the movement you can make into half the distance. An explosive can be thrown as an action, while an elixir or mutagen can be drunk as a part of either a movement or bonus action.
• Enhanced Formula: Whenever you use a formula you know, you can expend a spell slot to gain the enhanced benefit of the formula. Each formula has a specified enhanced benefit.
• Preparation: Whenever a combat is initiated, you have 1d4 formula items you know crafted, allowing you to choose from the formulae you know and have access to the abilities associated with the formula on the fly.

Special Rule: An individual can only be under the effects of a certain number of elixirs or mutagens at a time equal to the user's Constitution modifier. Other individuals can drink your elixirs, but they can't use explosives made by you. You can administer an elixir or mutagen to a willing ally within 5 feet as a bonus action.
