Welcome to the boards WinnipegDragon!
You posted that you want to run up mythology for your bishop. I don't think that this is the best possible choice, since the bishop has so many skills to dump points into, that i never even considered putting points into mythology, and on the other hand, I thound that even if I do not put any points into mythology since during my experience with the game I found that mythology goes up fast enough on its own,and if you do not go too early to certain places, you should be able to identify all monsters to a sufficient level.

I myself never needed mythology, since its biggest use is telling you what special attacks a monster has, and what its resistances are, but most of the time these can be guessed if you know the monsters name. Like slimes most probably will be water resistant, and have attacks like poison or nauseate or paralyse. Fire elementals would have fire resistance. If you get a general idea of what types of monsters are resistant to what then mythology is nearly useless, so I would not put any points in it, though if you prefer then try it, it might help you in your first game.
