Numenera rules question!

Well, I love Numenera but there is some problems about rules that I need to clear out. Can anyone please help me?

As far as the rules dictate, you can spend 4 xp to gain 1 level of effort or 1 level of Edge in a any stat or a new Esotery/Trick/Fighting style or 6 points that you can distribute in the stat, right? My question is that can I successively take advancement in Edge only? Or is there any restriction that in tier one you can only take edge once or in one particular stat?. Like say I have 8 xp, can I take 2 edge in Intellect or any other stat? Or is it that I can only take one edge in any stat while I am tier 1, the rest xp I have to spend on any other benefit?

Another thing is that I can use edge in all kinds of action right, like say if I have 1 edge in Intellect, I can use Onslaught for free without spending any point from Intellect pool, right?

In reply to Stalker05 (msg # 1):

Ok for your first question, no. To move up to the next tier you must take 4 of the options and each option must be different. So you could not take effort or edge 4 times, instead you could, for example, take a level of effort, an edge for one of you pools, divided 4 points among your pools and take a skill. There is also other options option that you can take instead of (i think) one of the above.

For your second question, simple yes, that is how edge works in the system.
