Is it just me or can you not change the spell/s you start with in the Char creator?
I hope its either
a) just me missing something
or not implemented until the retail release.
that aside i was rather impressed with the visual theme of the CC, the lighting while a little offputting for creating a character really does an excellent job bringing out the fine details.
Those spells/abilities are what they gave you so they can be sure you have what it takes to make it through the origin, at a minimum. You still select your spells when you actually create your character. Those are "bonus."
