Besides the utter destruction of game balance, why could a person not design a spell that grants actual skill dice when using an object?

Base it on the same principle that Analyze Device grants B/R dice. They add directly to B/R skills.

Improve skill (doesn't sound like a detection, but it states what it does)

Physical
TN = OR
Sustained
Drain +1M

By analyzing the object a person is able to become attuned to the object and can improve their performance while using the object.

Familiarity with device grants -2 TN modifier. Every 2 successes gives 1 die for using object up to persons skill in using object with a maximum of spell's Force in dice.
