Not quite. NPCs have shorthand to describe keywords. Its a heck of a lot easier to write Kallyr, Kickass Queen of Vinganess 10w3 than write out EVERY ablity she has. Have pity on us folks who have to actually write these adventures.
And, to be honest, there are ways to boost one's keywords or abilities rapidly. They're called heroquests. Kallyr's pretty good in that department - and very, very focused. And, considering that Kallyr has probably been knocking boots with Rigsdal... well... that probably helps too.
