Correction
Oops, sorry Tut, my mistake. Carry on with your extant skillset.
However, as a starting character you can't start with magical equipment. No continual light stone there Tut. And 500 gp? I'll allow max of 100 gp starting, plus the 200 gp you got from Ambassador Bekkers, so you're down to 300 gp.
Sorry your guy has been in such flux.
Hope this works for you.
