This spell/scroll maximum was/is probably the most complicated thing in the game mechanics.

That's incorrect. The number listed is scrolls only. Permanent spells don't count towards the limit. Example: you have only 1 scoll, which you learn a spell from. Your total will now be 0, regardless of how many spells you have learned. If you have 10 of the same scroll, that counts as 10 (so be sure to sell or use extras if they are preventing you from buying scrolls you need).

Also, that talent increases your max mana by 10, and scroll limit by 2 per rank.
