Resisting Spells

I'm having a bit of trouble raising my res. I've heard you can cast weaken/clumsy on yourself to get it going, so I bought up to 32 from a trainer to try it out.

After about 10 minutes of casting, I realized I wasn't getting any gains, so I pull up my skill list, it shows Resisting Spells as 0.0, unless I click show real which shows it at the 32ish I bought from the trainer.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? I took off all of my gear to try it that way, and there seemed to be no change.

you have protection on, it lowers your resisting spell by 45. :-)

just tested again, goes from 120 to 85, wich is 35 :-/ But obviously, the point was him asking why he would not gain, protection was correct and solved his problem.

wich is 35

i think inscription is tied to magery spells in this case.. it's potency

at gm it gives a nice 10% spell bonus on assault spells .. and also influences protection, reactive armour and magic reflect

/shrug, I go from 120 to 91 with protection on, no bonuses on any of my gear towards resisting spells.
