Talent rules stay the same as old ITL during character creation (CC). Starting Talents fill up IQ/talent slots.

AFTER CC
Anyone can learn as many Talents as they are willing and able to spend the XP on. (1-500XP, 2-1000XP, 3-1500XP; Wizards pay double the XP for Talents)

Spells cost 500XP for Wizards and 1500XP for non-wizards.

IQ limits the number of spells a character can memorize. Each spell takes up one spell-slot for a wizard and 3 spell-slots for a non-wizard.
==================
It seems like the XP costs and IQ requirements would be enough to stop a character from learning every Talent in the book. Number of spells known seems to be what needs to be kept in check.
