Huh? DAoC has NOTHING like this.

When you spend points that's it. They are spent. The only way to
make changes is to buy very expensive "respec stones" or farm them
from uber- mobs like the 1 per server/realm Dragon.

For a long time (well over a year) there was absolutely NO way to
change your skill point expenditures. You couldn't even fix
accidents like clicking something more than once accidentally.
