Honestly, does anyone know how this spell works? It states it gives you a 5% bonus on practiaclly everything, but it never seems to work. The painting in irenicus dungeon takes a lockpick skill of 41 to have any chance of breaking. With luck on and lockpicks 40, I get nothing. The way percentages work, I would think that I could get a 45% lockpick skill with it on, but even if it only worked on your lockpick skill itself, INT(40 * .05 +40) = 41 should let me pick that lock.

Is luck good for ANYTHING? (I haven't tried it with the gamblers in the crooked crane yet from UB mod)
