Does anyone have an opinion on how the preservationist alchemist (from Ultimate Magic) is supposed to work? I presume you're not supposed to drink the bottled creature, but uncork it or something and presumably the uncorking still takes a full round action. I'm thinking of pink smoke pouring out of the vial a la "I Dream of Jeannie", but maybe that's just me. :-)
Can you use the Infusion discovery on an extract of Summon Nature's Ally? Infusion states "An infused extract can be imbibed by a non-alchemist to gain its effects", which is not totally clear to me -- does it only work on extracts that you would drink, or are you supposed to drink all extracts regardless of what they do (e.g. you still drink an extract of Summon Nature's Ally or Nightmare even though you're not the intended target)?

It just states you open the bottle. It also states another can use it, if you have Infusion. Think of this as an exception to the original text regarding extracts and infusion from the APG.

Wow, I totally missed that line about Infusion. That basically answers most of my questions. :-)
But presumably opening the bottle is a full round action that can be interrupted, just like casting SNA normally, correct?

Not sure on that one. Other Alchemist extracts only take a standard action-per the extract rules in the APG. Clarification will be needed I am sure.
