Automation Lore Clarifications!

[The Only Sheet]

Regarding the wording of the Automation Lore:

Enhancement: Your gain greater understanding. Increase your proficiency rank in either Arcana or Crafting, as well as Automaton Lore, to expert. If you were already an expert in the chosen skill, increase your rank to master instead.

Does the last phrase (in bold) also applies to the Automation Lore skill if it is already Expert rank?

Thanks for the clarification!

If you're in the market for general-purpose opinions from the community I'd be happy to help contribute my 2 copper pieces.

Since you do not, and can not "choose" the Automaton Lore Skill with that ability it cannot qualify as the chosen skill, additionally, the "the" from the second sentence seems to indicate that they're talking about a singular option that is improved. This together, in my interpretation, would mean that the increase to Expert only applies to whatever skill you picked, be it Arcana or Crafting.

I'll go with that implementation then.

Thanks!
