You could also detail it so the alchemy can mimic spells, but needs a successful Craft roll to get everything set up right. Base the DC and cost on spell level, and failure might cause bizarre effects -- think Bride of Reanimator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bride_of_Re-Animator) for an alchemical Resurrection gone bad :)
