blah don't buy that stuff unless oyu have to.. expensive way to get one point higher in the skill when you can simply do the save/load swapping game while you practice says speechcraft using that opinion wheel minigame. or find a spell to lock something like a chest of drawers and practice that spell and lockpicking together! or locking and unlocking spells. I am soo tempted to leave my lockpicking behind because I bought spells to open very easy and easy locks.
