I've noticed some of my mages getting bonuses to their magic ability (as in +1 death, etc, per empowerment) seemingly as a result of experience. It doesn't seem to happen 100% consistently, however. Anyone else seeing this happening?

It seems winning the arena championships gives exp. If I don't recall wrong my guy jumped from 0 exp stars to 3 stars winning that.

Winning in the death match gives 100xp IIRC.

.. are the XP requirements per level, or cumulative? (i.e., does it take 50 or 65 XP for a fresh unit to get 2 stars?)
Per-Level requirement.

..do spells that hit count for XP?
AFAIK, no.
Neither do missile hits.

.. priests ..
Can easily get into the Hall of Fame when fighting Ermor, but not because of spell hits but because of "killed" (banished) longdead etc. - they get 100 kills or more quite fast

Haven't see this.
AFAIK the only way to get +1 death is by coming back via "Twiceborn" spell. The mage might end up with "feebleminded" or "mute" affliction, and therefore useless, as well, though ...

Are you sure it wasn't a starting random that you didn't notice until later?
