I am now able to enhance my divination spell skill from Skilled

know spells of that type are already at 0% failure?

Detect monster/food/treasure maxes out at Skilled so there
does not appear to be benefit from enhancing divination to
Expert.

Some spells not discussed by others so far in the thread:
Cone of cold and fireball both improve with skill level. Skilled
and up you chose the location to hit rather than the direction
to shoot. Again it maxes out at Skilled.

Unfortunately priests are restricted in attack spells, whatever
restricted means; I have both spells and can cast them somewhere
between 50%-80% failure, depending on my armor selection.
