I propose to ignore that reference for the discussion in this thread for 3 reasons.
  1. As you point out, it's bizarre.
  2. It's 3e (2e?). We have a 4e book, so we have no need to worry about pre-4e text from 1988. Much less "strictly read" them.
  3. Though it may affect a discussion of a "can a non-mage cast spells in Yrth?" question, it does not directly relate to the issue of "can you purchase Magery post character creation?".

More over, Banestorm reveals that Ritual Magic exists on Yrth.
Please provide a page reference. The only reference I could find is that the talent "Close to Heaven" (p.184) includes the "Ritual Magic" skill, but saying that "reveals that Ritual Magic exists on Yrth" is a stretch. The Ritual Magic skill exists in worlds without working ritual magic (Characters p.218), and Banestorm ("the appropriate worldbook") does not provide "details" on how it works.
