Some of you may have noticed that certain levels on certain classes yeild more than one skill. Magic classes start with two ablities on level one, and you're not forced to choose between the two, you have both.
The only time you have to choose is when it says -OR- between the skills. Otherwise you can pick up both skills.
This is just a clafirication for those of you who may be confused, or for any newcomers who may make the mistake of choosing when they don't have to.
