Anyone with Alchemy expertise may concoct level 1 potions but only members of the Alchemist class progress further. Various spell-caster types may construct magical items, but only Mechanists or NPC engineers may construct siege machinery, and only Mechanists may construct Automatons, Stone Guardians, or Iron Golems, only Alchemists may construct Flesh Golems, and only Artificers may construct several specific magical items. Alchemists and Mechanists must seek out recipes and schematics for the items they create. In addition to standard recipe-based potions, Alchemists may also create potion version of any spell they have access to, provided that spell has a material component. This includes spells they could not memorize due to their level.
