3. Speaking of Steel Rain the special notes: “If you also possess the Quick Draw Talent, drawing the daggers for this maneuver is considered part of the maneuver and does not increase the speed of the maneuver.” If you don’t have quick draw, what is the speed added, and is it a flat 1 or 2 or is it per dagger used?

The question on speed with that special needs to be clarified for Twin Throw as well which is the Tier II weapon trick.

A: If you do not possess Quick Draw, then the Weapons need readied as normal (a Speed 2 action).

Are you saying that each dagger needs to be readied as a speed 2 action or that to ready weapons it’s a speed 2? I’m guessing the later, but want to confirm.

Darken the Sky which lets you hit every target with a bow within 120′ doesn’t require quickdraw and is a total speed of +3(6).

7. Elemental Lore-Was this Talent intended to work just for one tier only?

A: It is not retroactive and, after gaining (assuming you take Master Elementalist at Tier 3), you gain the benefit of it when you take Tier 4 and 5 of Arcane Spell Casting. It, essentially, gives you the effect of Learn Spell Talent twice, once at Tier 4 and once at Tier 5.

Thanks for this response. I am rather stunned that one will have to wait to reap the benefits of this talent one tier later than get immediately. Something akin to: “Upon first acquiring this Talent, and each time you take the Arcane Spell Casting Talent, you learn an additional Elemental Tradition Spell.” would have been very nice for this Talent.
