Evidence and limits
- Spell records include player, creature, item-effect and inherited spells. A skill-line association does not by itself establish how to learn a spell.
- Base timing values can be modified in game. Unresolved tooltip formula tokens and internal learning-level columns are not presented as gameplay values.
