Essentially correct. Unless the skill is also open to the new class, you can still use it (except for scouting) but you cannot improve it.

>2. Something one person said made it sound like Bishops being
>transferred from W7 get 16 in all schools of magic, does that mean even if I only train them in the two they have in W7?

No. Bishops, and any other "pure" caster class (Pri, Alc, Psi, Mag) may transfer with a MAXIMUM of 16 in each of these schools. The amount they actually transfer with is approximately 4/25, rounded down if I remember correctly. (This is twice the rate at which hybrids import with spell schools; non-spell users import with 1-3 points, which if you think about it, does not matter at all.) If your bishop (or other caster) had no alchemy training in CODS, s/he/it doesn't magically gain some upon importing. Upon the first level up, however, any caster will get at least base 5 in any school open to that class.

>4. In W7 I almost never used spell books, because picking

It has changed. In W8, mana is computed based, in part, on the number of spells known, no matter how they were learned. Thus, whether you learn a spell from a book or upon level up, your mana will be the same.
