Don't really know how you'd be able to represent alchemy in City's animation system.
I have seen a lot of people play Poison as an alchemy set though.

Yeah, I agree 100% on the poison being similiar to it, as well as many other power sets, including Demom Summon. I do on the other hand like it being around the category pertaining to something like magic/sorcery.

I play Earth Control with some power customisation as atomic transmutation - turning the air into diamond or chlorine gas and so on. Its a more science-based concept, kind of like Firestorm from the JLA when coupled with Energy Assault.
Is that what you meant by alchemy, or are you referring to some other source material?

I agree with you as well. I'm really not sure, I feel like it should be some combination between many powersets but at the same time not and has a flow to call it's own.

I'm having some trouble wrapping my mind around what you mean by "Alchemy melee style fighting" - can you flesh that out a bit?
Also, you state you want your proposed set to be "something like magic/sorcery". Magic is an Origin, not a powerset. I have characters with Magic powersets ranging from being able to set herself on fire and summon a firey sword and firey punches (fire/fire tank) to a Bane Sidhe (sonic/dark corruptoe or blaster) to summoning the dark powers of the netherworld (various dark melee or darl blast/manipulation alts) to casting spells which used to be the sickly yellow green or Radiation before I could recolor them, in addition to the previously mentioned Demon Summoning and /Poison MM (the latter also summons Zombies,grave knights and a Lich).
Almost any powerset and any AT can be defined as "magic" with the right backstory. Your vague request for a magic or alchemy powerset doesn't really give us much to discuss. Can you add more description?

Sounds like you just got off a FMA kick. I don't really see this working in game. They might as well just make a Magic Casting powerset with hand sigils and swirly bolts.

Actually, now that I think about it, doesn't Ninjitsu for Stalkers have at least one fancy hand jive thing?
The idea came to mind a few days ago for me. I haven't thought too much on detail, but I do like the thought of having Alchemy powers in the game. To me it seems like it could work for a lot of Archetypes, like Alchemy Manipulation, Alchemy melee style fighting, or possibly a Mastermind set using transmutation Alchemy.
