In the narrative, at 13 as an extra keyword? They can't really replace his Warrior skill, can they, that's a prerequisite for both of them?

That was my feeling, but we've had the difference between keyword at X and best skill at X pointed out, so it's as well to be sure.

wonder how much of *that* keyword is still left? Not the magic, of
course, but the skills and attitudes. As I was saying earlier, are there
rules for a keyword dropping due to lack of practice?

"Broad skill", that can be improvised off? I suppose that's what keywords are, really.
