A character can also take Area Knowledge for a field of study.

For example Area Knowledge-Alchemy(1), IQ 8. This character is familiar with the effects of the alchemist potions and if told of a type of potion can on a 3/IQ roll describe what the effects and risks of that potion are in general. This provides no benefit in actually creating or identifying a given potion, but on a 4/IQ roll can remember that a given substance is an ingredient for an alchemist potion. Can determine that a given facility is an alchemist laboratory on a 4/IQ roll, but wouldn't be able to spot if critical parts were missing.

This character can later invest 1000 XP and convert this into the full Alchemy talent with only six months of full time study.

If the full talent isn't doubled for wizards then the Area Knowledge of it isn't either.
