I have a cleric training in alchemic potions, and it seems that the training points to next rank is being borrowed from the general alchemy skill rather than following its own independent progression for the potions skill. I currently have more ranks in general alchemy, so this is making it take significantly longer to gain each rank in alchemic potions than it should. I have BUGged the issue in-game. Some logs below demonstrate what I'm talking about -- note the difference between trinkets and potions, and the similarity between potions and general regardless of ranks...

Quite an interesting subject. Go speak with one of the skilled masters. Perhaps you will learn something new." Gilvemza also adds, "Repeat this 4 times."
