An alchemist god would be a third way to give these abilities. From
the top of my head, I don't think there's a precedent of giving out an
ability based on skill level. I feel that would be a big change to
introduce into gameplay. It would place very specific
milestones/thresholds to skill leveling. This is not necessarily bad,
it could be a good way to give out certain abilities (special moves
that have been discussed and so on), but it would be significant.
That's my two cents.
