This way there is an "in game" as well as a meta cost for each new talent.

Thanks, I agree, and I'd have mentioned that too but my post was too long already :) Original ITL already had some such stipulations about learning new talents and spells, and I always used them, but unfortunately they didn't make it into the new edition. It's only reasonable, and more realistic, to enforce a learning/training period for the acquisition of any new skill. The skill doesn't become active until both the XP has been shilled up AND the learning period has been satisfied (with plenty of room there for the GM to allow partial use or a limited attempt to try something that has been nearly if not quite completely mastered).
