For symbol magic, i'd rather choose the standard FP system, but with the chance to gather energy from the surrounding area, like the ritual path magic does. Because is used by "druids", it could work, both mechanically and lore wise. The version on GURPS Magic has less rules compared to the Thaumatology. I think it could be a good start.

It takes an hour per elixir, so I think that a limitation of Alchemy Only (-40%) would probably be suitable and, since Magery does not add to skill, I would allow up to Magery 10.
In that system, an alchemist with Magery 5 (Alchemy Only, -40%) [35] and Alchemy-15 would have Magical Reserve 15 and could have up to 20 elixirs in reserve. They could only learn spells to cast them into an elixir, which they could pay for with their Magical Reserve. Of course, it might not work for your world.

well, is not bad at all.. have to consider if i prefer this or the other, but in the end, both are suitable
