I was starting random chars today, I think playing classes I don't usually play helps me playing better.
Anyway, I got this hurtling farmer with 3 talent. Knowing that they usually don't have a high learning, I chosed "learned" hoping it will push me toward the necessary ten for literacy. Even, If I did not reach it learning is useful to know the remaining charges on a wand.
I was surprised to see that this hurtling got 10 learning but no literacy. So the point you get from "Learned" does not count toward the literacy check.
Useless knowledge, I know, but surpised me anyway as I was under the impression that it could push you to be literate.
