1.: Survivor curse can't be resisted, it' better
2.: energy cage imprisons the enemy, like freeze.
3.: No XP with the sight skills, sorry.
4.: you can gain 2 lockpick skills later on in the game - then look out for one item with this skill = you've got 5 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
5.: blind is useful, mages can't cast spells anymore.
6.: had no large success with charm
7.: Know Creature is valuable, if you're a mage to use spells efficiently. I maxed it out (lvl 5 shows resistances)
8.: Resurrect is nice, you can gain your former boss enemies then, like the dragon rider, the succubus etc. as an ally. But you need Aura of Command IIRC - at higher lvls AOC can make the game unstable
