This would be so in my Glorantha, yes. Although it's certainly possibl that it varies on a case-by-case basis.

You do to learn symbolic sight (at least among the Malkioni), but not the others. Although a liturgist's Venerate ability also functions like Symbolic Sight, and you don't need to be concentrated to learn that.

There is a Rules list, but these are largely questions about how Glorantha is, so I (with my Moderator hat on) have no problem with them being here :)
