Skilling up on corpses
 

Casters can skill up and spell on a dead body as it it were and enemy, or friendly target, I can DS a corpse, burst of fire , pretty much any spell on a corpse.

Always been that way as far as I recall.

(On Live as well, I mean)

Yeah I was not sure its been a long time just did not make sense to me that i can root a dead body of a player , or skill up DS or my DPS skill son it

I believe they did eventually change it on live so that corpses were invalid targets, but that would have been after the Classic era I'm pretty sure.

Really, you can skill up on anything you can legally target as spell skillups depend on whether or not you completed the casting, not whether or not the spell lands successfully.
