Should Transmutation qualities be acquired through skilled or unskilled knowledge? Could it be either?

I have been thinking it would be cool for my Sev'ryn's Ose-Bori to be an owl but looking at the familiar primer I saw that avian familiars are at least generally tied to Delroth and the Tarouz mark. Does that mean Osi-bori can't/shouldn't be avian in nature or is it alright to have mine be an Owl?

I noticed that there are some mechanics where you're allowed to add extra skill points over 250/250, such as renown rewards and immortal blessings. My question is why would you want to do that? It doesn't make much sense to me so I thought I thought I'd ask!

Somehow I got it in my head that Revealed mages cannot initiate other mages. However, when I tried to find the information on the wiki, I couldn't find anything to that effect.

How many mages can a revealed mage initiate, if they can initiate?

When a necromancer becomes competent, it's said that they can develop a new custom thrall that is different from other types and existing templates and modifiers. Do you need to roleplay developing this undead first, or submit the new undead to the CTW forum first?
