Experience

[Colin <celear@teaching.cs.adelaide.edu.au>]

I have inadvertantly discovered a very real problem with 
invoking spells.

As a matter of habit from the days when I used to cheat
I got used to invoking all my spells. Now with the new skills
I can raise my level in any skill I wish merely by
using invoke while my skill field is set to whatever
skill I wish to improve in.

This has caused my a great deal of pain because I didn't 
notice it for a fair while and my traps finding and fighting
skills went up enormously while my mage skills went no where
and I am a fireborn..

The reason I find this so objectionable is because I can use
it to up my praying skill without using any clerical abilities.

Can this be easily fixed or is it as I think something
inherent in the game setting the skill flag when you invoke
a spell doesn't stop you from barging off and fighting
something thereby changing your skill flag.

Also would it be possible to change the dimensions of the display
window so you can see which skill you are using at a 
particular moment. i.e. adding a permanent skill line under the
Range one.

Just some thoughts I had while playing the game.

especially important if you plan to change the way hp
are allocated with experience.
