Raising 10 major skills (with repetition) gives you a level up that will be applied the next time you sleep in a bed. When you choose (preferably create) your character class certain skills are designated as major skills. and each of them levels up as you use them (a method I’ve always wanted to see done well in a game). So how does leveling work in Oblivion? You have your skills like destruction magic, bladed weapons, light armor, etc.

Warning: The next two paragraphs are entirely expositional, if you understand Oblivion’s game system skip ahead.
