Frex, if you have Magery 10, you have a pretty high skill cap and maybe you have Path of Body at 13. There's plenty of room to improve it before the skill cap is an issue. Want to cast rituals that use Path of Body and are harder to resist? Buy more Path of Body.
But Magery 10 is effectively worthless in that regard. Besides the mana reserve of 30.

why would you raise your path skills over default? If there is no reason for doing so. It's more expensive. And if there's no reward for doing so, then just buy thalm up super high. Then you have cap skills in everything. And it's cheaper.

Example. Magery 3. Thalm- 21. Paths defaulted at a 15.

why would one ever raise their path skills. When they can just raise their thalm skill and magery.
