I remember reading a quote by MrSmileyFaceDude (can't find a link, sorry) about the formula used to calculate the number of usages of a skill required to have it advance one point. As well as requiring more uses as the skill's value increases, skills that are of your class' chosen specialty (combat, stealth or magic) will require fewer uses to advance, as will your major skills. Major skills that are also in your class' speciality will take the least of all.

So, a pure mage can choose to pick up a sword and practice it up, but it'll take him longer to learn to be really effective with it than a more martial character, even putting aside the lower starting value. But he can do it, if he likes.
