Alteration Skill bugged?, Doesn't seem to apply to Willpower level Options

[Hazbalt]

I noticed while I was practicing Alteration (ie. casting the shield spell to level up my alteration skill in order to get the willpower bonus) that it does absolutely nothing to improve my Willpower. I also use Destruction/Restoration, and that does have an effect on Willpower, but Alteration does not. When I practice this skill it does increase my alteration skill itself naturally, as I went from a starting skill of 15 to 25, and even tried raising it to 40, but it has no effect of raising the Willpower bonus at all. Anyone else notice this?

If I remember correctly, Alteration is based on intelligence...but did you not get any bonuses to your attributes at all, of was it somethings that would get you any bonuses...but still, it may be a bug as you said...try using different schools of magic, and not just alteration...maby that will help...
