Expert Skill (Chi Lore): Allows you to aswer questions about chi or similar concepts such as prana, odem, atman, etc. can be substituted for Physiology, Esoteric Medicine, or Cinematic skills when discussing the effect of chi manipulation.

One could argue that you could justify an "Expert Skill: [power] Lore" skill for any Power origin that is relatively common in your campaign; and by "relatively common", I mean more people than just you possess it. Not necessarily PCs, but someone other than you has to have had it.

In the case of long histories regarding the Power origin, you could get some real use out of it.

Really any Hidden Lore skill becomes an Expert skill if the lore's not so hidden.

That's a good point. The book gives us a psionic Expert Skill. I was thinking of the fictional aged kung fu sifu trope when submitting it.
