Is the organic matter he manipulates limited to himself?
How does your character's alchemy system work and how does he cast it?
Other than the fact that he is capable of releasing electric shocks, is there any reason or necessity for the "unprotected technology goes haywire" bit?

Being the newb that I am, please let me know if I'm not using the quote properly.

Regardless, I've changed the (admittedly rather broad) description to the more specific "mad alchemist growing creatures and brewing potions in his lab" model.

Second, I've tried to make the functions of alchemy (creating homunculi, brewing potions, making bombs, etc.) clearer, essentially being about half-way between magitek and straight-up Gothic mad science. Whereas magic is in large part ritual and focuses on immediate effects, alchemists have to craft their own equipment to get the effects.

Finally, I tried to justify the whole "electrical interference" thing.

Anyway, I hope that it's better now, but please, I'm open to criticism.
