Alchemist
The Alchemist is the second-class advancement of the Merchant line. Where the Blacksmith forges, the Alchemist experiments: brewing potions, lobbing volatile bombs and acids, raising artificial life in the form of Homunculi, and seeding the battlefield with dangerous plants. They blend frontline support with explosive area control, keeping allies alive with thrown potions while their summons and chemicals tear into the enemy. A seasoned Alchemist who has fully embraced the craft can later transcend into the Creator.

- Summoner — fields Bio Cannibalize plants and a Homunculus as permanent combatants, directing them with Pheromone Overdrive.
