Well thought and said.

Here I must disagree.  I can see where you may have
the thought that potions affect the user, and
therefore the alchemist can only produce such effects.
 But a slippery floor seems a reasonable effect from
the alchemist's art.  And while Gems exist for
Gargoyles and Wolves, it seems to me alchemical
preparations might be made to create images or
illusions of whatever the alchemist intended, and of
course concocted for.
