as a necro I never failed at one spell ever I guess I was lucky I dunno how
it rolls it. at level 1 I put one point and then I was able to research
banshee aura a coupla times and get a few skill point not many then I sortsa
just forgot about research up till about level 24 because then you start to
get research spells worth researchin hehe i dumped all my points into
research untill I couldnt dump more in....( i had saved every single
experience point from level 1) so it was maxxed and didnt fail on any
research from taht point on.
