Scholar Lore issues..?

They could just add it as a Scholar skill early on

That's probably not as easy as it sounds. If it was possible to retroactively add low level skills not attached to base classes they probably would have just made leeches level 16 or something and called it a day.

Even now we can still see this. It if was that easy to slot in low level job specific skills we'd probably have long since seen things move around. Succor at level 10 to match Medica/Helios/Prognosis, etc.
