Power Casting

[E]

Is there anyway to improve power casting other than assigning skills every level up? What about iron will, snake speed, etc.

Also, how mcuh bonus dose powercasting give anyways. Thanks.

Those "expert skills" seem to go up very fast on their own through practice. Make sure that you have your spellcaster casting _lots_ of spells, and your powercast will go up pretty fast. I'd still assign points to it at level-up, too, but it'll go up even if you don't

How much bonus can I expect from the powercasting spell? Dose it doubles all spell power at 100? What about saving throws vs instant death and disabling spells?

Also, what should i do to improve the snake speed skill greatly? Thanks.

power casting doesn't give you a bonus, per say. it does two things really. the higher it is, the better chance you've got overcoming the spell resistance of monsters and when it comes to damage spells you'll damage at the higher range of the spectrum. so with spells that do 1 - 10 points of damage, you're more likely to do either 9 or 10.
as for snake speed, i'm not sure how to raise it but i have noticed that some of the physical expert skills tend to increase when the fight lasts longer.
