Need help wording this ability

I'm making my geneticist class and there's this ability I want where the character can make short lived genetelic creations recreate spell effects that aren't truly magic. I'm just having trouble putting the ability to words that makes it easy to understand and also discourages abuse.

Field mutagen ability. Unfinished spell list:
Field Mutagen: By creating short lived genetic creations you have gained the ability to emulate certain spell effects. This ability functions as spell casting but requires you have a free hand to inject needles or drink infusions.. As the effects created are biological in nature, they are not susceptible to spell resistance. As this is not truly magic you do not meet any prerequisites to, or gain any bonuses from, feats in regards to the spells this ability emulates. Treat your Geneticist level as your caster level Save DCs are 10+original spell level+Int modifier

At 5th level you gain one level 1 spell slot to prepare an emulated spell in. Every 4 levels thereafter you gain 1 additional slot of a higher level. In addition whenever you gain new slots you gain access to higher level spells to emulate. You cannot use a slot to prepare a spell of a higher level than it but you can prepare a lower one.

You can prepare your spells during a 10 minute rest to regain stamina points by spending an additional Resolve Point. During this time you lose all unused spell slots and can choose different ones in their place.

The following spells can be emulated with this ability

1st level Geneticist spells
Charm Person, Disguise Self, Inflict Pain, Inject nanobots, Jolting Surge, Keen senses, Mystic Cure (2nd level), Restoration Lesser, Spider Climb

2nd Level Geneticist spells
Arcing Surge, Charm Monster, Deep Slumber, Explosive Blast, Flight (3rd level), Mystic Cure (3rd level), Remove Affliction, Resistant Armor lesser, Synaptic Pulse


Also feedback would be appreciated. It's a pretty powerful ability and I worry I'm trying to make it do too much
