|Example: Talon has just become a Grade 0 Initiate. He most wants to do
|Centering and Shielding and has saved up some Karma for them. He buys Latin
|Chant (Centering) at 3 (6 Karma) and Shielding at 3 (also 6 Karma). He now
|has 3 dice for Centering Tests and 3 dice for his Shielding pool. He can't do
|Quickening, Dispelling, Anchoring or Masking because he doesn't have those
|skills yet. If Talon later wants to increase his Centering or Shielding
|Skills he cannot raise them over the value of his Sorcery Skill.

I quite liked the idea someone came up with about having to do massive
amounts of research or go on an astral quest to gain knowledge of your new
powers.

The final upshot of all that could be the same as yours, but the means of
getting there has more depth....
