Welcome Hrothgar!

The 1st edition of ITL from the 80's had some very clear rules for learning new spells and talents that don't appear in the Legacy edition.

Basically a character had to list on their record sheet from 1 to 2 things they were learning/studying. A formula determined how long each spell or talent took to learn. If that much "game time" had passed by the time they raised their IQ, they could take the spell or talent as soon as their IQ increased. If their IQ increased before the required learning time was up, they still had to wait the required learning time before they could start using the skill or casting the spell.

Back then there was no XP cost for these things, you just had to have enough IQ and have waited the required time to add new ones.

I still prefer the older rules.
