For the use and creation of the alchemists alchemical items, the rulebook emphasises the cost and the creation of those items ready for use. however the quick alchemy action seems to me, yes a useful action, however to me it seems like your creating something out of nothing, you don't need the ingredients for the item you want to create or anything like that. Your creating something out of nothing. Am i hugely missing something. OK, you are spending a resonance point to do it, so there is a penalty, but still it seems strange.
