i totally agree, i could only find 1 use for reading thought (donni) and never been able to succefully use disguise without everyone attacking me on sight : ive made the halfelin flee from the dungeon, turn into a halfelin, succefully bluff the guard, enter, and get attack on sight. maybe a sleight of hand, or bluff, even hide check could be use to cast the needed spell during dialog, or insight check before the dialog start telling your characteR ''hm maybe i should use this spell'' if you have a scroll or is prepared in yours spell list
