One thing I'd point out is, to call it "dual-classing" will confuse players familar with the D&D concept of having two classes at the same time, each gaining 50% of the earnt XP. Wizardry 8 uses more a profession CHANGING system, you are one profession, then become another, having all the skills of the previous profession, but unable to gain further skill in the previous profession and any special bonuses of that profession (unless you change back to that profession later which can be done).

Here's an article that discusses spell learning and covers how this is handled for profession-changed characters.

Enjoy!
