The Torg writers didn't design any of the published spells using the
spell design rules, they just made up numbers they thought looked
good. So trying to reverse-engineer the skill levels used is something
that can't really be done.

The spells in Pixaud's are supposed to have been designed by magicians
with high skill levels and polished to perfection, but if you try it
yourself with skill levels on par with what the skill requirement
indicates you often find that the spells are ridiculously far off the
mark, nowhere near as good as a skilled magician's numbers could
actually generate.
