So I logged in today and noticed that I got a rank in this:

You've gained a new rank in your knowledge of protective magic.

Now when looking at all my skills, (EXP ALL) I cannot find anything that is "Protective Magic" but if I do an EXP SKILL it is listed there.

Any idea if this is normal? Or a leftover or bug?
