I have also found that if you use up all the character actions of a particular
person on tasks that all employ the same skill, then you have a much better
chance of that skill going up.

Eg. Cast a spell (full power seems to helpas well), teach/learn spell and
research a spell.  This seems to be a good combination of tasks to get your
magic skill up.  Of course, if you fail the research, you don't go up.

P.S.  I've had a thief that has been stealing like crazy for 10 turns.  He
went up 2 skill levels a turn up to about skill 11 and then one level a turn
up to 14.  Hope that helps.
