Training Multiple Skills (Possible Spoilers)

I discovered a simple yet ingenious simple trick where it was possible to train up mage skills by just creating a spell with 1 magicka use and just constantly casting it to bring up skill levels. Well it's all well and good except extremely long winded and boring.

So lightning struck, what if I combine as many 1 point spell as I could into one spell? So I set about doing so and created a spell that only uses 4 magicka but contained restoration, conjuration, destruction, illusion, alteration and mysticism components.

To my dismay it didn't quite work as I planned, but something unusual occured to me. Instead of training all my magic skills this spell seemed to raise my illusion spells by 4 points each casting because I had a 1 second 1% Chameleon spell included; now the weird thing is, Chameleon is only about the third spell down on my spell list, heal 1 point on self and, 1 fire damage on target coming before that.

Now I think it's very strange to have that happen, so I still haven't given up my hopes on creating a multiple skill spell but I imagine it would require a very special combination.

Now my question is has anyone discovered a combination that can train multiple skills? Not necessarily just magic in particular but easy training skills in general?

PS: I've already worked out a way to easily train both my armour skills and weapon skills in relative safety with nearly infinite limits.

If you go to your spell list and highlight the spell to read what it does, it should tell you what spell skill the game has classed it as, if it says illusion then thats why its raising your illusion. I don't think you can create a spell that will belong to more than one magic skill even if its effects belong to several. An easy way to raise conjuration, destruction and restoration at the same time is to cast summon ancestral ghost, blast it with very weak destruction spells and then heal yourself. If you are atronach too then you have the added bonus that your magicka stays pretty much full :) Of course, this is still quite time consuming lol.
