Magic dip for aura sight

[CactusAir]

So i read somewhere that one point in any magic skill gets aura sight, which opens dialogue options.

What's the best 1 point dip in a magic skill?

You mean Astral Perception, right? It strongly depends on what you want (and what you can get).

In Dragonfall, I put 1 karma into Spellcasting, because it allows me to get the +2 Armor spell.

In Hong Kong, I put it into Conjuring instead to equip an item that gives +1 Charisma.

arent in practice those options need to be backed by high level of skill checks too? iirc otherwise you'll know something's going on but won't be able to do much with it...

Trying to be a social character with good int/cha and some decking skills. probably not a very good combatant, but well, first time playing

Most of the time, Astral Perception by itself is really useful when all you want is have an extra non-fighting choice. I was quite happy when I picked it up for my last game, unlike all the dozen of previous games.

You can be a good fighter and have good talking skills too, it's just harder to satisfy everything in the beginning. By the end of the game, my character had (gear bonus included) :
- 5 Body
- 11 Quickness
- 8 Ranged Combat
- 8 Rifle
- 7 Strength
- 7 Intelligence
- 6 Decking
- 5 Charisma (6 at first)
