Yes (and perhaps a new category as well).

IQ and IQ alone could still work to regulate talents and spells, it just has to be implemented in a little better way than it was in original ITL.

I agree it can work that way (it certainly did during the game's first life), and I'll admit that was my initial reaction to this particular Legacy change as well, but over the past few years I've come to admire the goal (though not the implementation) behind dividing those aspects of the character.

I like the idea of the player having to choose whether to spend XP on something that increases the character’s proficiency across their existing portfolio of abilities vs. adding a brand new ability to mix.
