Poisoning Skill training

Hey hey! 
Could somebody explain how to train Poisoning at all? I open my skill and got it up to 61.4 by using Posion and Great Poison potions (used it to the knife). Now I can't get more, I spent about 50 potions and it not raising anymore. 

I have room for that skill. But what it can be?

    I don’t know if you can GM it without doing the narrative where you GM a mage or warrior first then go to the Moonglow Lyceum to pick up the poisoning skill quest chain. 

    I don’t know if you can continue to train old school if you buy deadly poison from players or not. Maybe someone else could answer that. If you can do it that way I think it’ll be awfully expensive.

    I'm not sure if this is a *bug*, and I hope it isn't a feature!
    My Poison skill gained quickly, with little effort until reaching the "magic number" of 61.4.
    Simply added _lesser_ poison to the same group of 10 bladed weapons, repeatedly.
    A few failures occurred, which considering this was lesser poison, there should be very few failed attempts, so this seems to be working as expected.
    Switched to Poison (mid-range). Gains ceased: meaning no additional gains.
    Got one additional gain after participating in Solen Matriarch (died just before she did), and got one additional gain (to 61.4). After that, nothing, even with Greater Poison.
    There are _no_ failures with Greater Poison. This leads me to believe that the "skill check" system is not correct for this skill. I think this may also be true for the Inscription skill, as reported by "Victim"(of Siege).
    Tried using alternate method of poisoning minor creatures (24+) to death, with no gain. I don't think this is working as intended. More likely, the alternate skill gain method of killing dozens of creatures is the *bug*, that just happens to work for a rare skill gain.
    I will wait for further comments, then post this issue to the "Bug" section.
