While it is explicitly not RAW (as Kromm confirms), letting characters learn spells they cannot cast (assuming they learned any spell prerequisites) is the safest solution in terms of balance. It’s definitely not going to break anything remotely important.

Well, it could break a character if they sink all their points into them...

(I guess you could add the caveat that simply knowing Recover Energy without being able to cast it doesn’t give any benefits, but it’s not like letting all characters try to raise an IQ/H skill to 15 to double their FP recovery is going to break much, either.)

The *best* solution is left as an exercise to individual GMs.
