Maxes should be:
Casting: (level + 1) * 5
Offense & defense: level * 5
1H and 2H blunt: (level + 1) * 4
Dodge: caps at 75, I believe is level * 5
Swimming: (level + 1) * 5
Forgot about dodge, mine capped so long ago since I'm level 29 now.

> At 12th, my skills were maxed (for the most part). I had maxed

> Also, If my magic skills continue at the same rate, and my assumption
