Subject: Skill Points


I just have a few questions regarding skill points and their allocation.
How have all of you spent your practices? I am lvl 8 now, and up to this
point have maxed out my Jewelcraft (21), spent one on Meditate, one on
Piercing (at lvl 1 a mistake I know), and have saved the rest.
My spellcasting skills are all maxed except for Conjuration and Evocation.
Have any of you maxed out your Conjuration skill? I just don't cast my
animations THAT often. I spent over 40 daggers just creating Pendril's
Animation and then Reclaiming Energy immediately and my Conjuration skill is
still only 25 (as opposed to 45). Is this a problem? Does skill affect
anything other than fizzles? Will my animation be stronger? I guess I'm just
wondering if its worth dumping some points into. As for Evocation, I can
just now get Chaotic Feedback and so far have a skill of a whopping 3. The
mana cost is just too much for me to use it extensively now, so my skill
rise is mired in slow motion. Is this worth skill points, or will increased
mana levels later on allow me to raise it for free? Also, my 2h blunt skill
is only a 5, but I have been doing well with my Giant Snake Fang thus far.
Does piercing become inferior to the point of uselessness later on? Seems
like everyone and their dog has a staff. I like my speedy attacks and hate
to waste any points, but this is another area that could use help.
I had originally wanted to save my points for Research, Specialization and
whatever Languages I would need for Research, but now think I might need to
use SOME of them at least before then.
I know there's no hard and fast rules, just wondering what everyone else's
thinking was, and what they may have done.
