Shiri, delete this if I'm wrong, but (if you can't already, which would make me wrong) you should be able to convert lessons from your pools into 'raw' lessons.

As far as I remember, you can. You just take a further loss on the lessons.

Yup, once you converted lessons into the general pool, they're effectively raw lessons since you won't incur any penalty transferring them between the general pools.

Hmm.. but then if you say needed to convert between Blademaster and Athletics wouldn't you take a larger lessons loss by converting them to raw lessons first?

Why would you want to do that then?

Uhh.. Yeah. I had to do that when I forget enchanting and took jewelry (high art and all). Had about 60 lessons in enchanting, got 17 for jewelry.. Was feeling really screwed as a novice.

You can just convert lessons into the lesson pool.

I had 3000 lessons to test with
