Yeah, mine is the same. Had to buy some skills to be able to deal better damage -.- only problem is that some of them have a weapon-type requirement, so if you end up not knowing/having said type you end up wasting skill points. -- Thought the flame orb was magic-typed. Guess it's only melee and range, but range unlocks too late to be useful, imo, so you're better of buying the melee, or the bolt/ball, skills.Great game but am I the only one that can do only 1 point of melee damage no matter how high I raise my strength? And the fact that male monasters as considered story monsters and you aren't allowed to use the spells you BOUGHT with skill points because reasons, is ridiculous. So at present I'll have to cheat my strength to 30 - 50 or....what? Basic attacks won't cut it.
Sure you could use the oblivion potion, but it also resets your tome skills and some of them are unique. [Healing Touch, thus it's unlock Healing Circle, and Summon Wood Sprite]
