How do Tumor Familiars and Share Spells / Deliver Touch Spells work?

[Toloriel]

How do "Share Spells" and "Deliver Touch Spells" work with regards to extracts?

My understanding is that an Alchemist can drink his extract or mutagen and grant the familiar the effect instead. Is that correct?

And, with regards to "Deliver Touch Spells," how does it work with extracts? Extracts aren't targeted. Does it mean if an Alchemist drinks an extract with the range of "touch," i.e Cure Light Wounds, then the familiar can deliver it, and the Alchemist is uneffected?

Just looking for clarification here. It's pretty confusing to me.

Pretend the tumor familiar is a 'regular' familiar, glued to the alchemist. They are technically separate creatures with separate bodies for the purposes of spells, attacks, poisons, etc. So yes, a cute light wounds that targets the tumor familiar would not affect the alchemist.

I get that. But, it's not what I'm asking. How do share spells and deliver touch spells work with extracts?

ah. Well, technically it doesn't. They're potions that only work for the alchemist. You could rule that they work for the familiar, too. That's how I'd run it. But by raw they aren't spells.

Reread the Tumor Familiar discovery. It actually contains this sentence:

"An alchemist’s extracts and mutagens are considered spells for the purposes of familiar abilities like share spells and deliver touch spells."
