I don't like skill trees.

What I tend to do is have base parameters and skills become available as these parameters reach certain levels.

Say you have four base parameters, Fire, Air, Earth, Water.

You break down your individual skills by base parameter, so something like.

Fire
Ignite, Burn, Fireball

Water
Quench, Water jet, Drown

Air
Cool, Blow, Hurricane

Earth
Dig, Throw, Earthquake

etc.

Then you mix them, Hurricane with Water Jet = Tsunami. Earthquake + Fireball = Lava flow

As long as you have enough base parameters, and enough "levels" in each base parameter, you can create as many skills as you want.
