Let me revise the situation with an illustration from my mortal character:
You have 4 practice sessions remaining.
You can practice the following skills:
backstab (superb)
hide (very good)
slit throat (not learned)
sneak (very good)
track (very good)
trip (not learned)
>pract trip
You do not know of that skill.
>pract slit
You do not know of that skill.
As far as I know, absolutely everything needed to implement a new skill is
correctly in place. Can anyone offer even a remote speculation as to why
the skills show up, but can't be practiced?
