Oh yes, that bit, too. Mortals learn skills as they level up, and immortals learn skills by linking to a mortal and learning a skill that mortal already knows. Immortals have higher base stats than mortals, so once they learn a skill they can usually put it to better use than the mortal they learned it from. Alternatively, they can learn skills from accessories. I loved this part of the game because it allowed customization of your characters without ever feeling completely broken and while maintaining something of a pseudo-set job system (the variation in stats amongst the immortals are good enough that although you can teach the main character all the magic in the world, he'll usually suck with it). It does begin to lend a bit towards micromanaging, especially in the latter half of the game when you'll be learning a new ability almost every battle and have to switch accessories/links repeatedly.
