Alchemy - Worth 18 Runes?

Thanks for the feedback. I tend to cast a variety of spells in combat and hate destroying items for crystals so I've decided that Alchemy is a good investment for me.

I always maxed out alchemy as early as possible and I never regretted it.

I also max out alchemy once I get some magic schools under my belt. I admit this is not the strongest way to play (Since you can get by on only learning a handful of spells) but I like to have lots of options in combat.
