Well, I have a similar idea. However, it took a lot more to incorporate
it. When a player gains a skill (spell or skill) it saves the level at
which the player gained it. Then, as the player advances in levels,
their 'level of mastery' in that skill increases. Their maximum
practicable amount is equal to something based on their level of mastery.
That way, someone who has had a skill for say 20 levels, can practice it
a lot better than someone who has had it for 2 levels. However, since on
my MUD, skills are not assigned, but 'bought' at any point, that is the
major difference.
