Online talk:Mora'at's Theory of Lightning

Associated skill?

I found the book, but it didn't increase Destruction Staff. Instead, Dark Magic, Daedric Summoning and Storm Calling - my Sorcerer class skills - were increased. The ESOLog Viewer lists Dark Magic, so my in-game experience matches with neither the article nor the Log Viewer. Is it possible that reading a book that increases one of your class skills will increase all of them? Probably needs more input ... --Holomay (talk) 13:33, 29 September 2014 (GMT)

Oh, yeah. Any time it increases a class skill it increases all three. That's been established months ago, and is why all the other class skill books list the class. We can change this to sorcerer. I think I added destruction staff, but it is entirely possible I was carrying a staff at the time and was close enough to leveling it that the xp from finding a book pushed me over.

Oh my, I guess I've been reading Online:Skill Books with Falmer eyes. :) Or maybe I read a cached version from before the note regarding class skill books had been added ... but it was added back in May. Anyway, I should have noticed the class entries in the skill column or the discussion on the talk page. Now I am trying to understand the last sentence of your post, and at the risk of asking about something else that was established months ago: Reading a (non-Destruction Staff related) book would give you (what kind of?) XP which push you over to the next rank of the Destruction Staff skill if you are carrying a Destruction type staff?! I've been reading the articles and talk pages about Classes, Leveling, Skills etc. - where can I find information about these mechanics? --Holomay (talk) 20:39, 29 September 2014 (GMT)

Discovering a new book you've never seen before gives you a small amount of general xp (or at least it did at the time, they may have changed that). If I was super close to improving the destruction staff skill, that small amount of general xp could have boosted it enough to level it up, bringing up the skill increased notice for destruction staff and then the ones for reading the book. I simply saw destruction staff level increase and assumed that it was the skill attached to the books. Hopefully that makes sense. Jeancey (talk) 20:45, 30 September 2014 (GMT)
