Explanation:

There are certain permanent skill bonus the player receives in the game (Skeleton Key, Gray Prince's Training, Night Mother's Blessing) that come in the form of a fortify skill effect that essentially adds to your base skill level, this has the adverse effect of preventing the player from continuing to level up these skills in order to increase attributes, particularly when the skill reaches 100. See below from UESP Oblivion Wiki:

"The following rewards are implemented as abilities with a Fortify Skill

effect. If you look in the Active Effects section of your journal, you

will see these abilities listed. These rewards do not count towards

leveling up, or towards attribute bonuses. On the other hand, any one of

cast journeyman-level spells). Note that no message will be displayed to

confirm your skill perk as there usually is.

Skill training will require more experience and therefore will be more difficult. This is

most noticeable with the Skeleton Key; tips for how to efficiently train

are provided on the Skeleton Key page.

The associated skill will not show up in green in your journal listing of skills.

You can increase the skill past 100 if your skill is already near or at

100 when you acquire the bonus. However, there is no benefit, besides

insurance against Drain Skill or Absorb Skill, to doing so for most

skills. The only two skills which continue to improve when boosted past

100 are Acrobatics and Athletics.

If you are trying to level efficiently, be careful about receiving these rewards. These skill

increases do n
