    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

        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!

          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
