Do we really need the Hermetic and Kabbalist Lore skills?
I can understand having an Astrological Lore skill to calculate magical times and places, or a Tarot Lore skill to perform divinations and identify symbols, but do we really need Hermetic Lore and Kabbalist Lore? I feel like the uses of these skills (i.e. identifying spell designs and castings) could easily be folded into the Occult Sciences themselves. Right now the Occult Sciences are only used for the practical application of magic, but I think it would make sense if they doubled as Lore skills regarding the history of their development and their theoretical underpinnings. For comparison, the study of real science normally includes learning the history and philosophy of science too.
