Do the formulae the Alchemist make only work on him or if when imbibes the Extract is he now in effect "casting" the spell so he can touch someone else?

In effect can he CURE other people or ONLY himself (same with other spells/formulae in his list like enlarge etc)

its like taking a potion, used on himself.

An extract is “cast” by drinking it,

as if imbibing a potion—the effects of an extract
exactly duplicate the spell upon which its formula is
based, save that the spell always affects only the drinking
alchemist.

You need a discovery for others to use them. Someone below names it, I would've named it first, but I was rushing so as not to be ninjae'd but here's the relevant text for the discovery

Infusion: When the alchemist creates an extract, he

can infuse it with an extra bit of his own magical power.
The extract created now persists even after the alchemist
sets it down. As long as the extract exists, it continues
to occupy one of the alchemist’s daily extract slots. An
infused extract can be imbibed by a non-alchemist to
gain its effects.

For the record Jadeite was the first to name infusions.


I don't remember the name but one of the discoveries allows others to use em'

The Infusion discovery allows the alchemist to give his extracts to other people.

did anyone mention the infusion discovery that lets other people use the extracts?


The Alchemist also gets the Brew Potions Feat so by crafting potions he in turn can it just costs gold to do so.

Infusion Discovery alows the Alchemist to do it with out the added cost, and for a much more limited time.
