That's one of my skills so how can I make use of them?

Just to add a bit to what promethius said, to use alchemy you need your equipment (mortar and pestle etc - you don't need all the pieces to make something however having them all increases the power and also decreases the negative side effects of whatever you make) and some ingredients. Ingredients are plants and such - to make something with a specific power (e.g. a potion of levitation) you need at least two ingredients with that power (can be two of the same, or two different). Ingredients all have one or more properties (e.g. increase strength, decrease intelligence etc). The better your alchemy skill is, the better you are at determining what ingredients can do. Better quality equipment also increases the power of your potion and decreases the negative effects.
