Without petpal, my team came pretty close to level 24. I am pretty sure that it is possible with that talent.
Since mages are so easy to respec you can always get rid of that talent later.

Know it All adds 1 point even on maxed base (15) INT so Moloch can't give you that extra point.
Does it really matter if you have 30 instead of 29 INT? Imo mages get far more value from an additional turn action point (since Glass Cannon chars get +2 TAP for +2 SPD but have to increase their CON by 2 as well, 1 TAP effectively costs 2 attribute points = how much you get for trading the talent away).
