*facepalm* I know about the stones. xdNo. the training speed of a skill entirely depends on what starsign you have. Go to the guardian stones and chose either mage, thief or warrior. If you chose mage you level up 20% faster in all magic skills, conjuration, illusion, destruction, restoration, alteration, enchanting and alchemy. If you pick warrior, the same thing but in these skills: One handed, two handed, block, heavy armour, smithing(etc). Thief, you can figure..
