Scholar: Thanks to his background, Iakobos is able to read, write, and study various things with ease. Literacy is it's own skill in this era specifically, so you can have one skill as literacy and another as studying.
[i]Okie Dokey, I'll change that to just reading/writing. :)[/i]

Observer: Just wondering if this is a small buff to general knowledge, or a large buff to perception alone or knowing rumours?
[i]Uhhh sorta a bit of both I guess? If I have to clarify it a bit more, I'll say it's more perception & rumours than general knowledge.[/i]

The World is Watching: Information to answer a simple question can be pulled from the mind of an intelligent being, so long as they are willing. Only a vague sense of action and memory can be witnessed, without emotion or feeling.
[i]I'll edit this in. :)[/i]

Mind Meld: Information can be swapped with a being; if Iakobos wants someone to understand something very quickly, he can meld either his mind or another's to theirs, allowing the information to essentially be downloaded. While it has the ability to be very powerful, the melding of minds must be done with consent by all parties. An unwilling mind cannot take part in this process. 

No abilities or skills on this one ^^
