I believe it should be noted as 'player knowledge' vs 'character knowledge'

As a *player* Satoru knows the effects, uses, etc. of items, spells, and abilities he's come across and researched through the years he's been a DMMO player. He's also a office worker and retains all of the skills from that... even though it's NOT reflected in his 'Stats'

As a *character* Ainz instinctively can tell ranges, cast times, etc of the abilities he has... he doesn't immediately know these off the top of his head, as he stated... he has to actively think about it, but as soon as he starts thinking about it he instinctively knows the information. But this has started to blur for him as he gets more and more used to the situation.

The question should be: When he learned how to use a sword - was it as a player or character? Is there still a difference? What kind of repercussions would the distinction mean? In the case of the NPCs, does this mean they could possibly reach beyond being just a *character* and learn things outside the box so-to-speak? (This has been noted numerous times in the story pertaining to different characters. The only instance of 'failure' was the attempt by one of the Lv1 maids in trying to cook a steak... but remember, the maid situation has just changed as well. Before, when Ainz asked, the group was all NPCs and there was almost no outside contact. The 'cooks' all needed a class to do it successfully. Now there's Tsuare in the group and there are more outside influences such as the Lizardmen, Treants, etc. around... will she be the only one to learn, or will the maids around her start learning new things as well? In every other case, the influence of a foreign source has fueled some kind of positive growth.)
