Like the Worz, I cast all non-combat protections at the highest level after resting. I save after a success and reload on a failure. It takes longer (can be a few minutes) but your magic goes up relatively fast and you are protected longer and often better.

I did seem to notice, though, that sometimes a magic skill may go up every time with a failure but not necessarily when I succeed. There may be a weighting factor in the formula that slightly rewards a failed attempt over a success, as far as raising skill points go. This may be to discourage the very thing I do, which guarantees maximum protection and minimizes loss of mana. Anyone else notice this?
