Okay, I know the general idea behind these skills, but I want to know if there's a reason to boost specific skills in those trees instead of just those top tier ones. What's my wizard's incentive for boosting Fire Magic when Battle Magic boosts all four elements at once? If there is a difference, it's currently unclear and should get explained better at some point.


The way I inferred it there are 3 types of magic Offensive, Defensive and Summoning, and 4 elements. Battle Magic increases Offensive spells of all 4 elements while Fire Magic increases Offensive, Defensive and Summoning spells for Fire magic only.

Not to say a better explanation wouldn't help but it's a common problem with the way RPGs frontload character creation. Call me a heretic but I admire the way Skyrim deferred this kind of decision making.

Quick-Witted is one of those borderline cases. If there's enough xp in the game to hit max without it then it's arguably worthless. In addition xp is likely exponential (is there a table?) so 10% extra xp in most games amounts to sometimes a level sometimes not.

I took Fleetfooted and Rosy Cheeks because action points. I'd still recommend dropping one though, it seems a pretty uninteresting way to build a character.
