it's whatever class you know the spell as. if you have the same spell in two classes, the highest.
For instances, your fire ball would use your Shifter spell level, but your Hide Among Dead would use your Necromancer spell level.

Which Class did your char get fireball in?
If your char got the fireball spell as a Shfter, and then changed to the nerco, your fire ball spell level is frozen at 3rd.
No, you do not combine spell level from two classes ever.
And Gravitus Everlast, will you refrain from using such vugality, this is a public space and you will (have) offend christens who read these forums.

It would be 3D4. When your necro gets 4 level you could pay double(per necro) to get it do 4D4.

The alchemist is a special case, in many ways. First of all, it does not have two different caster OCCs. It has 3 different magic OCCs, each which use completely different types of magic. Diabolists don't cast spells or use circles (effectively); Summoners don't cast spells or use wards. Wizards don't use wards or circles (save by creating spells which mimic them, which isn't the same).
Alchemists use and combine all three.
To your actual question, you use whichever is best for the spell you are casting.

i always assumed that Alchemist's were .. an NPC class
my bad .. maybe i should take a look at that now? .. just in case.
Ziya could very well almost be an Alchemist apprentice, without trying to be one. she makes magic potions and can create magic weapons and armour .. so who knows. anything is possible.
Creator of the Chi grenade. Used in game by Kevarin [GM] and self as Mai - Civilian Martial artist that got amped via experiment. Ghost weapons and shirts rule.
Nano Missiles - used once and GM banned further use. They weren't THAT bad. and did stop a demon scout ship from returning with valuable info.
Alchemists are an NPC class, but GMs need to know what they can do, so they can adequately use NPCs, no?

There was also a guy on the boards who made a Journeyman Alchemist OCC. Don't remember who off the top of my head, though. Saw it a year and a half ago. Ask Nekira Sudacne, since I think she was part of that group.
Aye, I was. It's basically a partial where you know some wards, some circles, some spells and can make potions and enchantments at starting pretty low precentages, then you work your way up learning more. It gives varaity at the cost of doing nothing epsecially well at first.
