@Jez: Strength can still be useful for carrying things around. I had 10 on Morwen.
Other helpful hints on archery: Arrows fly for a total of 14 blocks, which is farther than the range of everything but ball spells. It's also further than most monsters' ability to see invisible (including reapers!) which can give you easy kills.
Also earth wall is not affected by life at all, so unless you're using that life for something else you should forget training it. You also don't need 10 lore if all you're getting is fortress and earth wall. You'll need only 4 to get those two spells and a plethora of other small, useful casts.
I'm unsure on the reasoning for limiting your archery skill. It's the cheapest weapon skill.
