Good news: The Specialists boxes are showing on this weeks release schedule for Asmodee (https://www.asmodee.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/1906-__-04-02-2019-__-WEB.pdf) so we should almost certainly get them this Thursday - though there's no release date listed so your FLGS can sell them as soon as they get them

Okay random thought popped into my head - what happens to your talent sockets when you advacne: 1) Do they get replaced by the new careerers? 2) Do the new careers add to your current sockets? 3) Does something else happen? The obvious answer is 1 but there is a problem spell caster into non spell caster career would loose their faith/order card, so thoughts and suggestions anyone.

You say they have to buy the skills like anyone else but wizards specifiacally get two skills (spellcraft and chanelling) for free (according to the magoc book) which makes them a little unbalanced against priests who also need 2 skills to be effective but dont get them for free form what you and the books say. to make things fair either wizards should pay for thiers or initiates should get their 2 for free as well.

Good, now any idea where it says that in the books?

Do initiates start with Piety and invocation like the wizards start with chanelling and spellcasting?
