The Mages Guild recommendation quests now give skill ups in their various schools upon completion.

In my dealings with the Mages Guild, I have noticed the oddity of a level 1 character getting all of the recommendations without leveling up at all, in magical skill or in general level. This small mod seeks to rectify this by adding a line of code into each recommendation quest that levels your skill in the particular school of each city's Mages Guild campus. For instance, when you complete Skingrad's recommendation, you will receive Destruction training. I feel this adds to the realism, and fixes the feeling that the first seven quests you do for the Mages Guild go unrewarded.
I have tried to keep immersion by giving reasons for the training in your journal entries. You will find that the reason I have given is not always the same.
This mod should be compatible with any mod that does not change the Mages Guild quest scripts.
