Windling Spellcaster (Elementalist) + Astral Sight

I know some questions regarding this racial ability were asked several times, but I stumbled across a rule in the Players Guide, which I never noticed before:
Players Guide p. 121 wrote:A character may not spend Karma on a talent that is not part of his Discipline. This includes talents available as a racial ability—like a windling’s Astral Sight—learned through Versatility or granted by a magical item or other effect.
- Normally a Windling may not use Karma on Astral Sight learned and enhanced as his racial ability. It still works as the talent though and inflicts strain aswell.
- If the Windling choses to become a Nethermancer, it automatically learns Astral Sight and the racial ability becomes obsolete (Several groups houserule, that they get a +1 Bonus on this talent as compensation).
- So what if the Windling becomes a Scout instead? The Scout has Astral Sight as a discipline talent at circle 6.
- Can you use Karma at circle 1 on Astral Sight, since this is part of the Discipline or do you have to wait until circle 6 to do so?
- Do you have to learn the discipline talent for further circle improvement or does the racial ability become the discipline talent? (Since the racial ability was enhanced as a Novice Talent and the Discipline Talent is a journeyman Talent, are you lucky enough to get to enhance it at the lower costs? Or do you have to pay the higher costs afterwards?)
- And what about Windling Elementalists? They can learn Astral Sight as a Talent Option, therefor it is part of its Discipline. So can the Windling use Karma without learning the Talent Option?
