Umm yeah basically Im telling you even with 4 being at 50 you will
notice a difference.. My lvl 46 cleric friend said he recovers when using
alteration 9 times out of 10 and that can mean someones life when your
taking on big stuff at those lvls.And also yes your other four you wont
notice a alot of a change but mainly once you've hit them all at 50 you'll
get use to the difference and wont notice much of one its just teh main
specialization skill that you need to worry about
