Skills: When does it pay to increase them?

[k9burn]

I have a question about a few skills since the manual and even the gamebanshee strategy guide dont necessarily fully explain it:

For each of the following skills, what benefit do you get by increasing it past level 1?

Parry
Ninjitsu
Iron Will
Magic Weaponry - does this do anything other than lower penalties?

Thanks

they get better

Ive increased my stats in both parry and magic weapons. Parry I get hit way less in hand to hand combat. And my magic weapon seems to be more powerful. I have both of them quite high.

Parry is important because you can avoid certain attacks of the enemy.
Ninjutsu-at level 5 you get combo just like melee weapons and after that increases your damage done by hand and feet.
Iron will is good against magic attacks.You don't suffer the whole damage of the magic attack.
And magic weaponry should be taken to level 9 because there are certain weapons in the game wich are bolstered with magic.Without this skill you won't trigger there magic attack and the weapon can be used just as standard weapon.

Another aspect of Iron Will is that it reduces the chance of your character failing to cast a spell or make an attack when taking a hit. The higher the skill level the less chance there is of your spell being disrupted, for me that is it's main value.
