On the other hand, we houserule that alchemists who want sphere-casting can get it, but it REQUIRES (is NOT optional) a specific casting tradition ((combination of Skilled Casting (Craft Alchemy), Focus Casting (Alchemist Lab), + Sphere Specific drawbacks that limit the spells cast to only affect themselves, etc.)).
Hm, I'd skip the last part (having Infusion as a mandatory discovery always bothered me) but the rest is not bad.
