Default Problem with not stepping outside the WG until you're 20

I think this is a fair tradeoff to stop half the Goblin Sorceress abuses.

Seems like an interesting approach.

What is "the rest of the mundane talent cost at creation"?

What happens if you want to start as a more worldly wizard who doesn't have that disadvantage?

Nothing is keeping you from not taking Literacy as your mundane talent and instead being say a Goblin wizard from a mining community who gets miner for only one skill point (1 point talent, doubled for wizard, then subtract one for mundane talent), but you don't get the Wizard Guild connections either.

Ok, so if I follow it's:

* All characters get one free mundane talent point.

* One choice is Wizard Guild Upbringing, which gives Literacy and Guild Connections, but has an Unworldly disadvantage.

* So you can still be a wizard and not take Wizard Guild Upbringing, and have neither Guild Connections nor Unworldly.

I'll consider another upbringing that includes Literacy as a Mundane Talent: Upper Class background. This would include upper crust connections "The Duke knew your father by name".

And includes either disfavored: "The Duke knew your father by name, and curses whenever he's reminded of it."

or Duty: "The Duke knew your father by name, and will call on the favors your family owes him whenever the plot is afoot."
