The absorbtion negates damage? I figured you'd take the damage at the
same time as your mana gets filled.

And on the max training question I had, I think I've pretty well
comfirmed that 95 is the highest any skill can reach once one hits 100.
I had 1 spell class hit 100 with the next closest skill at 94. It
stopped dead at 95 despite at least 300 castings (on a .3 difficulty
with very fast reactions), as did the 2 spell classes I had in major,
which I'd been spamming with q-e with a Dxx and Dyy spells, at last 5 or
6 times done 60+ times.. Had to be at least 600 castings for them. The
last holdouts were Res in primary and jumping in minor. Jumping hit 95,
then I kept spamming it in a doorway while I spammed a heal
end/health/fatigue spell through 5 times, 60 times each with my 300
mana.. So 900 heal spells at 95 and no movement.

On the up side, in my last attempt, one of my skills stayed close to my
top and hit 97 before the other maxed, so it does appear the careful
eager beaver can max everything he wants, or at least get everything to
99 if you put forth the effort for 1-2 more levels.

Wow was I long winded about that or what? Now I've got to go daedric
hunting so I can put all my spells over 105 for easy casting!

Aye that they do but if you are nearly out of mana and have an item
that casts one of those they work great. Been there, done that.

Yes, this is what makes spell absorbtion so useful. If a spell is
completely absorbed, it causes no damage.

Yes, I read somewhere that 95 is as high as your other skills can go
once one hits 100.

Yes, you just have to be careful about one hitting 100 before the
others hit 99.

Good luck.
