Most of the skills in this chart can also be obtained from a scroll of knowledge. If you have not yet learned the level 9 skill for your current class, the scroll of knowledge will give you one of your own class skills. This is a waste of a rare item. In order to maximize gains from scrolls of knowledge, wait until level 19, 29, 39, etc, so that you have learned your level 9 skill but not yet changed to a new class.
