OK I have known a few of those but there the kind that a GM needs to walk through character design anyhow :)

An excellent question. Who picks a spell for a Power Investiture list and doesn't read it and realize that a starting character would be unable to use it?

All of those skills do have a default, and many of them are IQ based; the high IQ wizard and priest can likely wing it, and if more power in that specific spell is needed pick it up with earned EXP

That's if your GM allows you to advance in off-template skills at all. Artist is the only one with an IQ default, and to succeed reliably you would need a ridiculously high IQ.
