Does increasing your level in a skill give you any bonuses other than opening up perks and increasing your overall level?

For example, if you do not purchase any perks in Archery is there any noticable difference in your ability whether you're level 15 or level 50?

I am wondering if it is worth it to invest in training for skills that may not get used often enough to take perks in.


Thanks.

Yes, there is a benefit. The specific what depends on the particular skill. Damage improves, mana costs decrease, that sort of thing.

Thanks for the fast answer!
