On the Sov creation screen, when selecting a spell rank, the two example spells listed for the selected rank of spell school does not update until you mouse off and back onto the element, after you change the rank slider. For example, if you change from None to Fire apprentice, you don't see it tell you that you can cast Burning Hands and Pillar of Flame until you move the mouse back off of and onto the fire magic section. If you then change it to Fire Disciple, it still lists Burning Hands and Pillar of flame until you re-mouse over it, and it then properly lists Burning Blade & Flame Dart.
EDIT: I'm not sure how I managed it, but I actually broke the spell rank descriptions entirely when I changed to the Appearance window and equipped Procipinee's Crown, and then went back to Attributes. No spell descriptions would pop up at all until I moved off the Attributes window and went back to it.
