 You may create powerful bombs out of unstable reagents to throw at your enemies. To use a bomb, you must expend 4 TP or MP. Bombs are unstable, and if not used in the round they are created, they degrade and become inert - their method of creation prevents large volumes of explosives from being created and stored.  You may create powerful bombs out of unstable reagents to throw at your enemies.

 As a Half Action, you may infuse a single arrow, crossbow bolt, or firearm bullet with the reagents of your Bomb (spending TP/MP as normal), load the ammunition, and fire. You must be proficient with the weapon used, and the shot targets the enemy's AC as if it were a normal attack (unless it is capable of targeting Touch AC on its own). Upon a successful hit, the shot inflicts damage normally, and deals your Bomb's damage, as if it were a direct hit.

 As a Full Action, you may infuse a single Spell which you know into a Bomb, and throw it. The Spell takes effect at the target location, or onto the target creature if it is a ranged touch attack spell. You must fulfill any normal requirements for the spell to take effect. The "caster" of the spell is considered to be the Bomb, and due to this it is the point of origin for spells that leverage the caster's position, such as [[priority:magic:spells:tier1:burning_hands|]]. Creatures make saves against the DC of the spell as normal, in addition to any effects of the Bomb itself against the Bomb's DC(s). You must spend the TP/MP for the Bomb **and** the Spell used as normal. Bombs of this type do not function at all in an [[priority:magic:spells:tier8:antimagic_field|]] or similar effects. The GM may determine that certain spells are not valid for this Talent, at their discretion. As a Full Action, you may infuse a single Spell which you know into a Bomb, and throw it.

-You may create a Potion of any spell which you know and that targets one or more creatures or objects. See the [[equipment:magic_items|Magic Items]] page for more information about Potions. 
  
-If you do not know the spell, you may still create a potion of it if you are sufficiently skilled. Select the higher of your BaB or CL, and use it as your CL to determine what Spells you may access. To create a potion without knowing the spell, you must first research the Formula. This takes 10 hours per Spell Tier of the desired spell. Once done, you may make potions of that spell without further research impediments. +You gain access to the Potion Master Shortcut.

You must still spend time and make the Craft (Alchemy) check as normal; there is simply no TU cost involved. You may only have up to this amount of potions active at a time, meaning that if your secondary modifier is 3, you may never have more than 3 free potions created simultaneously.
