So I had given some thought on how Primary Skills were used. In general, the only advantage they give is a big bonus and twice the spells for a Spellcaster. Nice, but not very interesting or inherently useful. Below I outline the advantages for skills as Primary, excluding Spellcaster. Notably, they are only for skills that require levels. I couldn't think of anything for Scout, Thief and Warrior.
