I don't delve into the more radical stuff with Alchemy. I just do simple poisons and potions. Kind of like the Sith equivalent to adrenals and stimulants. Or hallucinogenics. All fairly reasonable without the OP frippery usually involved.
Yeah, no. I'm not talking about stuff like that. I'm talking about mixing together ingredients from a recipe book to make a potion or poison. No Force power involved.
I mean, just because a Sith is making them doesn't necessarily mean he's using "Sith Alchemy". From what you're describing, it's just a Sith using standard alchemical practices. I think there's a list of approved drugs somewhere.
Well it is Sith Alchemy in the sense that they come from Alchemical books. While I may not use the Force myself, using say a distillate rendered from a Vornskr or something imparts an 'impression' of the Force nothing drastic. Besides, with Sith Alchemy I want to make the simple things.
Then if I want to try to take it further, I'd try to write them to a degree and quality suitable for something more complex. All the while working with Kiro, or Clayton or whomever else to make it work and be reasonable.
