I wizmoded up a character following TSO, and it appears that you can't. In the skills menu, you can choose to train necro but no skill points seem to wind up there; in fact, if *only* necromancy is selected it looks as though the XP is lost altogether, which seems like a straight-up bug? No piety loss or penance in this case.
On the other hand, when following Trog, you don't get a warning upon choosing a magic skill in the skills menu, but when you actually put XP into the magic skill, you lose piety. But you *do* actually gain skill.
*Learning* necromantic spells under TSO generates neither warning nor penance (though they're marked red in the memorization screen) though casting incurs penance.
Even learning a spell under Trog causes penance.
After this, I kind of feel like Chei can do whatever Chei wants. Maybe the moral of the story is "there is no more rhyme or reason to divinity in Crawl than there is in the real world."
I am not a very good player. My mouth is a foul pit of LIES. KNOW THIS.
