Skill empowerment

Skill empowerment was a transmutation spell that magically increased a creature's existing competence in a given skill.

Effects
By touching a willing creature, the spell increased that creature's understanding and domain over a skill with which the creature had had previous training, but was not an expert. For up to 1 hour, as long as the caster kept concentrating, the target enjoyed unmatched expertise on that particular skill.

Components
The spell required only verbal and somatic components.
