Close, but not quite. They add levels to *already successful* tests. So that's not a blanket +1 SL, it's +1 SL on tests that you succeed at.

And those extra levels are just for the above bonus SLs. You don't get anything else.

Is it worth 100xp? Probably not.

But the 1st level of the talent costs 100xp, then the second level would cost an additional 200xp, the third 300xp …etc.

Maybe It’s just me trying to min/max things a bit too much or maybe it’s just my PTSD from stingy experience awards from previous GMs … but that’s a whole lot of xp for very little lol.

No, you're correct. Not everything in Warhammer is like mathematically well thought-out.

Bonus SL's get converted into extra damage, range, targtets hit etc. in spells which make them very useful once you have brought the skills up.
