I should emphasize once again that Basic Roleplaying is not Generic RuneQuest. Many of the questions seem to be aimed at that nonexistent product rather than the one that's been created, playtested, and promoted.
Basic Roleplaying provides a rules framework for any setting, and calls for a lot of decision making by the GM to determine what should fit or not fit in each setting.
A BRP-based fantasy setting would present more guidelines on what the specific costs for learning spells, and might further limit spellcasting characters.
As it stands, BRP simply presents rules for creating characters, says "a starting-level character might have this level of power", and presents a list of powers. There's a bit more detail than that, but not a ton more.
