Alchemy is, as it is understood in the Fullmetal Alchemist series, the ancient metaphysical science/mystical art of manipulating and altering matter by using natural energy. Those remarkable individuals capable of studying and practicing alchemy are known as "Alchemists"
Tier 1
Alchemy
All forms of Alchemy require a Transmutation Circle in one form or another. You now have the ability to draw Transmutation Circles as a main action, and perform Alchemy on nonliving things as a main action.

Research
Becomming an alchemist is a lot of hard work, and involves spending many long nights in the library. Gain +X Intelligence, where X is your levels in this class

Tier 2
Comprehension
The first step of learning alchemy is learning what things are made of. You can roll Int to attempt to discern the composition of your target

Rebound
When starting out as an alchemist, you make a LOT of failures. Not that this is a bad thing. You can choose to intentionally fail a transmutation; these failures are more catastrophic, and others may be caught in the crossfire. Based on int.
Tier 3
Deconstruction
The second step of learning alchemy is learning how to break things down. Sometimes, that's all it takes - You may now attempt to use Alchemy to break down a physical object

Practiced Alchemy
You've become adept at drawing cirlces quickly from experience; You can now draw a Transmutation Circle as two combined simple actions.
Tier 4
Reconstruction
The third step of learning Alchemy is learning how to put things together. Repairing broken objects is now a simple action, if you already have a transmutation circle.

Planning
As an Alchemist, you have to get good at planning ahead - Especially when something goes wrong. As a reaction, you may now perform Alchemy from transmutation circles previously drawn on the environment.

Tier 5
Equivalent Exchange
The law of Equivelent Exchange is the one true Truth of the universe, and govern everything you do as an Alchemist. The energy you use for your transmutations comes from yourself. Gain +X/2 Vitality, where X is your levels in this class.

Transmutation Array
Though not typically circles, Transmutation Arrays are a powerful tool for the modern Alchemist. You are now capable of creating a Transmutation Array. The bigger these are, the longer they take to create. However, theycan encompass wider areas, and produce more powerful effects than a normal Transmutation Circle.

Tier 6
Comprehension (Bonus)
Alchemists are capable of comprehending many complex subjects. You can now try to discern something's composition as a simple action

Tier 7
Deconstruction (Bonus)
Everything is made up of something; just because you can't touch it doesn't mean you can't break it. You can now try to break down Ethereal/Incorporeal things with your Alchemy. Assuming you can somehow get a transmutation circle onto such things...

Tier 8
Reconstruction (Bonus)
Despite being more complex, it is possible to construct new forms of life. You can now perform Transmutations on living things. However, just because you create a Chimera doesn't mean it'll listen to you.
