Locating (Sensing) Vis would be InVi, surely?
And pretty easy at that - see p. 156 of ArM4

Indeed, it's no biggie.

The easiest, and already documented way, to obtain knowledge is written in HoH:TL, page 140: The Face in the Mirror ReMe 40 allowing you to bind a ghost within thyself and use readily available skills. The spell does have some serious negative consequences and in my opinion it is not acceptable to relinquish the use of Parma for some other skills.
As the possibility of obtaining skills not owned by the Maga is established, I was ready to search for alternative methods. Thanks for the great work in A&A p32 and the Core ARM InMe guidelines I have put together the following:
First of all the knowledge has to come from somewhere. You cannot create what you don't know, so I was thinking about the following spell as the base:
Steal the Secrets of the Trade In(Cr)Me 45 (Base 25, +1 Touch, +2 Sun, Ind, +1 Creo Req)
By touching the bearer of the desired knowledge, the Maga can bless another touched person (or thyself) with the knowledge and all the related memories of a profession or a trade. Unfortunately the strong magic immediately grants not only the knowledge, but also a warping point to both participants.
The above spell is great if you have the knowledge in hand* and binding a ghost/spirit can give you the necessary part. Again, HoH:TL p.140 Voices from Hollow Spaces grants us the perfect example to bind the desired ghost to our Circlet of Knowledge, allowing us a way to bind the Sage-ghost, with all the knowledge a humble Maga can desire and readily browse from the ancient catalogue.
In short, the idea is to create a magical circlet with two invested effects: first, to bind a ghost; second to read and create the desired knowledge to whoever uses the circlet.
On the question of how to grant the wearer the knowledge what skills he can choose from... it might be that the simplest answer is: none. The wearer has to say loudly (in a language the ghost understands) what knowledge she wants.
Thoughts? Do you think the extent of knowledge would require a Finesse roll?
I can easily envision the situation where the knowledge syphoned from the bond ghost can overwhelm the Maga (botched Finesse roll).
* pun intended
the spells porbibly would need a fenese roll in my opinion.
There's also the Faerie Pretense way, although it wouldn't work well for knowledge... How to you fake knowing things?

If you create the vinegar from an existing alchoholic liquid, PeAq would certainly do.
