This is still solution discussion, which is fine here. An actual properly written up solution (expanded skill uses, that feat being fixed, etc.) should go in IMOI though.

Rules question: Does the Alchemy skill as it is written now allow people to make acid flasks? Because, if that is the case, then the feat could totally allow flasks of fireball and other such hilarity.

Yes. That's one of the few things it actually does do.

Thank you Grek.
So I'm thinking that the Alchemist Feat (thats a good enough name, right?) could grant spells at 14 ranks that can be thrown and applied to enemies (or friends if you are a jerk). Though, I think it might be taking it in a different direction from what the rest of you were planning for this to do.

For example
Rank 14: You are now able to make explody poison. Hurrah! You can craft potions that contain spells from the following list: (Some evocation or enchantment or something). The spells activate by contact with the potion.
