The DCs are so that to prepare and cast the maxium spell level is a 50% chance, and one 2 levels lower about 75%.3) time to prepare components, and the fact that prepared components must be used before three days or they are ruined (this avoid an alchemist to create lots of components and then go around with them)4) time to cast the spell: I'll raise it to 1d3 full roundsm, with a feat reducing it to 1 full round (but raising by one level)5) the idea of casting with "generic" components when nothing best is available but at a lower power level and with a greater chance of failure is good; I'll try to put it in the rules.I'll post the revised version as soon as I'll finish them (but I'll have some busy days of study now, and so it will probably be the next weekend)</blockquote>
