Kiya no large examples or huge calculations are needed just check your characters statistics. The damage that is shows there is the damage you do and if you "hover/float" with tne mouse over it you will see the bonuses you got. When you compare the damage in the statistic screen to the damage you do on diffrent creatures you will see that its correct. Sence you exactly see on screen the damage you do on every strike there is no problem to check this.

When you have this conclution all you have to do is to wield an axe next time you level and check damage, get one skill level in axe and check damage again and you will see that it didt increase the damage (You might want to save the game before you take one skill level in axe sence you might not want it).

If you want i can make long list of damage done to diffrent monsters with difrent skill levels but the conclusion will be the same at least in the tests i have done. Its plain unnecessary for more exampels just check the statistc screen and fight and you will see for your self that the skill is broken.
