Reading
Reading skill makes reading faster; the supplied skills passage says it must first be learned through a quest before advancement.
How it works
The original-game perks page says Reading can be learned after completing Mightier than the Sword, that perk points are received after certain skill levels, and that increasing the skill makes reading faster. The skills passage separately says Reading requires training to advance above level 0. The sources do not describe reading speed values, book effects, or the exact relationship between the quest and training requirement.
Read the supporting references
A source-bounded reference to original-game skills affecting combat, equipment upkeep, alchemy, horse handling, gathering, thievery, reading, and stealth. It describes supported effects and progression facts, not a complete skill catalog, optimal builds, or comparative performance. Guidance explains the referenced mechanics; it is not a tested damage ranking. Check the stated edition and source version before applying a patch-specific detail.
