Skills alone really don't work with Enhancements, because a skill can very often just be 1 point, or even 0 points, with most of the actual skill coming from characteristics, talents, or even defaults. Someone else might have the skill at the same level, with 20 points in it but lower base characteristics.

They're both equally skilled, but one is paying twenty times as much as the other for the same benefit if you try to apply the enhancement to the skill points.
