That minute per level duration may encourage the use of metamagic or arcanist spell tinkering to make it work.</p>I would agree with Taja that as long as you can complete crafting within the duration of Paragon Surge it works.

It gives a bonus to INT and DEX, but it also, most importantly, lets you take any one feat, for which you are qualified, for the duration of the extract.</p>

<p>At level 16, I now also qualify for the Elixir of Life discovery.</p>

<p>Is there any reason that I couldn't take this extract with the chain:
<br />
[Paragon Surge > Feat: Extra Discovery > Elixir of Life],
<br />
and then proceed to brew an elixir of life, taking another PS extract each time the previous one is about to expire, thus keeping the discovery until the hour of brewing is done?</p>I'm a 16th level alchemist, and have just added Paragon Surge to my extract list.
