I would use ITL pg 135 as that is new in Legacy ITL. ITL pg 125 missile weapon range rules come from the old Advanced Melee so I would only use this for missile spell range when the wizard has Missile Weapons talent.

I know the intent of pg 125 was to be the range limit regardless of talent but this is the only way I can justify both sets of rules.

For example, a ST 6 Goblin wizard casting a 3 ST fireball:

Pg 135: 6 MHx range, or about 19 hexes

Pg 125 (with MW talent): 60 hexes at full damage / 75 hexes at half damage.

So, the difference from the two rules is great.
