It seems a very skill based on practice, and very appropriate for sorcerers or casters with a practical approach.Knowledge (Arcana) is about notable magic things in general but not much about spells. It seems about what you have read in books, and as such fits scholar-types even if they aren't practiced in spellcasting themselves.If your problem is that you always spend your 2 skill points per level in these, just don't spend them. There is absolutely no reason why an arcane caster MUST max out Kn(Arcana), and only a Wizard who copies spells regularly should max out Spellcraft (but not a Sorcerer e.g.). Obviously, the higher you have it the better it is, but it is not really necessary IMXP.</blockquote>
