''This sentence didn't seem to make sense "It is not necessary to be in the same zone when the spell is used, but you must be within the zone and within range of the monster before it dies in order to learn it."

It is not necessary to be in the zone but you must be in the zone?''

Yes it makes sense, take this example for instance: You're in a party, but you're in the next zone over. Who ever is ahead of you is fighting monster x. The monster uses a learnable spell, and you zone in after the monster uses the spell, but before it dies. The way the system works you would have a chance to learn the spell. Exactly as th sentence states.
