Does the Exploit Give you the Skill?

[TreChriron]

A question from one of my players...

Magician career? It requires the prestidigitation skill. Does the Wizards apprentice exploit Prestidigitation give you the skill?

 

[Morrus]

No - the skill is sleight of hand magic tricks and the like; the exploit is actual magic.

However, you do raise a good point. The skill "magic" in performance skills is actually prestidigitation. It got renamed during development, but it looks like the skill list still has the old name!
