Lord, I've never in my life used alchemy. It's always so disappointing when my characters collect all the other HLA's and then have to settle for "scribe scrolls" or "alchemy" every time they level up. I find them essentially useless because at this point the party has more than enough scrolls and potions. Why would I want more of the same low-level items cluttering my inventory?

At least fighter types can get more and more whirlwind attacks, etc.

It would have made more sense for the mage types to have more ability to increase the number of spells per level, or gain detect illusion, increased lore, permanent vocalize or something along those lines.
