I've actually heard this from multiple sources, and I
saved my Level 11 skill point for just such a reason
(come on Level 12!).  I'm heading for Iron Maiden as
soon as I make the level, but I do want at least a
point or two in Skellie Mages, because they're fun and
can be resummoned, while a merc can get expensive.  I
like range!  Thanks for the confirmation, can't wait
until I've got the levels to take advantage of it!
