    So - possibly related to this thread:

    With all skills set to either maintain or off - if I cast the 'light' spell, with only the below skills set to increase, look at the exp. pool consumption:

    Armor Weak Points: 508 exp consumed per light spell cast
    Armor Weak Points and Sun Worship: 302 exp consumed per light spell cast

    Weird?

    As far as I know, that is working properly. Some skills don't take as much exp in, some passives put exp in when anything is done. Some skills even level up when you do anything and when you get hit, they go up super fast fighting with them on.

    This is actually working as designed. The math behind how experience gets applied is fairly complex and we've been fairly opaque about it but I can confirm this is working as designed. I'll try to cover this in an upcoming talk and make it more clear what is going on.

    It's nice to talk about these things, but I (and assume some others) do better with reading a post than listening to a discussion (it's also easier for players to reference).

    I assume some people have already dived in to figure out how xp is applied, but if it's going to go in an upcoming talk I hope it also goes in a forum thread!
