Natch. I suppose a GM with an eye toward plausibility would require
someone to have at least a closely related skill (magical or otherwise -
negotiation, perhaps?) and apply a penalty or something (not as great as
simply defaulting, since the character's not actually getting the dice
that would be represented this way...), I could see doing the same for
spellcasting without at least a nominal Sorcery Skill.
