this is the messaging my char gets with discern SOL. its the very last sentence i'm not understanding why i'm getting:

To begin to be able to cast this spell, you will need to reach the rank of a lowly novice. By the time you have mastered this spell, you will be ranked as an authority in your abilities as a caster. It requires the Warding skill to cast effectively.

This spell has no prerequisites. It will also cost one spell slot.

You think you could weave at most 34 mana streams into this spell.
Roundtime: 9 seconds.
>discern sol
The Shield of Light spell must be woven with at least 15 mana streams, and can contain up to 100.

<<You don't think you are able to cast this spell.>>
Roundtime: 12 seconds.

prep sol 15
That will disrupt less than a quarter of your current attunement.
You begin chanting catechisms to invoke the Shield of Light spell.

You feel fully prepared to cast your spell.
>cast
You gesture.
A fiery blaze covers your shield arm like a vambrace of solid sunlight.


<of course, tell me i can't do something, and i do it... :-)>

DISCERN runs off of Arcana skill. It has no relations to the spell type you are trying to get info on.
