The code for skills has been nearly completed and right now I've got a few people ptesting them to ensure they're bug free and to fine-tune the skill raising formulas. Overall you'll see either a slight increase in skill abilities or no change. This however does make it much easier to go forward with other changes such as new skills for Fighters, some additional spell realms for mages, etc.

Keep an eye out for these changes to go live in a week or so.
