got Magicbane. There, I started enhancing my dagger skills and managed to
get skilled. Afterwards, I enhanced my attacking spells, to skilled.

I'd have stopped playing immediately after finding that wizard bones
file; this bones file spoiled your own valuable achievements.

You can always use wizard mode to practise. These bones must have been
engineered; I can't imagine you'd ever see +127 equipment in a real game,
