			When you're studying inspirationals, they have diminishing returns:
Smooth Stone (SS) 100% >> SS 70% >> SS 50%
However, if you add a "new" inspirational to the mix, it'll boost the learning ability back up.
SS 100% >> SS 70% >> SS 50% >> Chestnut (C) 100% >> SS 70% >> SS 50%
New means any inspirational you've not studied since buying your last skill or proficiency point.
Thus it could go:
SS 100% >> SS 70% >> SS 50% >> C 100% >> SS 70% >> C 50%  >> New World Gourd (NWG) 100% >> NWG 70% >> SS 50%
Every new item will study at 100% and reset the process.
