I like that. Normally with the exception of "magic starts working" changed physics/natural law worldlines are presented as it was always different but is just now noticeable, but there's no reason it has to be that way. The rules have changed and the locals know it works fine.
It's a clever choice of change too - Tactics isn't a skill I'd have picked as the target of emerging super-science weirdness, but any skill is fair game I suppose. Now I feel like I need to go try to plot out some divergence points where weirdness suddenly changes the rules of Sculpture or Housekeeping.
