You immediately master that skill but completely forget everything you learnt about the last skill you learnt. This means that from the day you acquired this power, you are unable to pick up more than one extra skill from the skill set you had on that life changing day.
So lets say after high school, you fell in a toxic pit of brains (haha it's a power acquiring origin story, why does it have to make sense :P) Then after that day, you are able to pick up any, skill, any knowledge instantly and perfectly but only the one because once you pick up the next you forget the one before. So you will be your high school self + one other skill/ piece of knowledge for the rest of your life.
Still can be pretty good, but good luck with multitasking :P
Everytime you learn a skill you have an overwhelming, uncontrollable urge to use it until the next skill you learn. Let me teach you the art of public masturbation!
If that were the restriction then I would add that they have no choice as to whether they learn the skill or not. Watching TV and see a martial arts guy, boom sudden knowledge and urge to kick people. Walking through the street, see a skateboarder, boom instant boarding expert and uncontrollable urge to skateboard. Watching porn, boom best sex god machine ever but needs to screw the closest person around. So many things we see can be considered a skill and they said they can learn simply be seeing it done. Their life might become rather overwhelming pretty quickly :P
Ya just thought I would add it in so that I could use it to illustrate how quickly things will become really chaotic haha. Although, assuming they don't go crazy, I guess there will eventually be a point where they will slowly stop seeing new skills they haven't seen. In such a case they will become practically like a god, just a god with a really absurd obsession with a particular skill.....
"Dude, seriously, no one knows medicine better than you, If anyone can cure cancer it is you! I've seen some of your stuff."
"No! You don't understand, I....MUST.....MAKE.....ONE.....MORE.....PAPER SWAN!!!" Hand shoots up in triumphant glee, brandishing a paper swan of such beauty it becomes the new religious symbol to the devout followers of "He who can Origami!"
"Oh wow, that's a really neat trick! Let me try" Drops swan and steps on it while walking off. Much sadness was had that day, the day the Origami died.
I just really hope for their sake that the last one they learn is something manageable with regard to always needing to do it and fitting into society. :P
Instant understanding, whenever I see a skill being described/used, I master it instantly.

You only have room for 10 skills, and this includes things like walking and talking.

I kinda (probably wrongly) assumed that this was the case since he did not specify that he could choose to master it. But you are right!

Doing so pushes another random skill out of your ability list.
Skills include: - Being able to pump blood around your body - Being able to see - Being able to walk - etc
You can only master one skill at a time, can only master a skill once, and must unlearn it for a new skill.
You have to trade your arms and legs for the ability.
