Well, if you look at the tooltip, it will show increased values.

There are a few abilities that do not get better over time such as Shadowy Disguise as that ability simply puts you invisible and the crit chance is always guaranteed.

That's wrong, it costs less magicka with each new level.

Eh, I'm fairly sure it actually increases in cost as the level increases. That's what I found last time I leveled a nightblade.

Before the morph, everything increases as you level it up, and after the morph, the cost will start to decrease, but otherwise the rest remains the same.

At least, that's what I found out.

The Morph gets slightly better as it levels up, either more power, more duration, lower costs, something gets better.

However, I would have to say, are you more concerned about leveling the morph or using the Morph? If your not going to use the Morph, don't even invest the skill point, just slot another skill you want or need to level on your bar and get that to morph stage. I think it is more important to have all my class and weapon skills to at least the morph stage, than it is to have all the skills fully leveled through the morphs. This way I can react to the changes ZOS makes in it's never ending balance chase.

Of course if the morphed skill is something you are going to use, then invest the point and use it.

I think the only skills I break this rule with is Bound Aegis and Inner Light. I don't use them all the time, but I want the full Magic Buff and Crit Buff respectively when I do go to use them. You might have others you feel the same with.

Again you are wrong my friend http://www.esohead.com/skills/25380-shadowy-disguise

Well... if you are below max level with the character and you are grinding the character and the skill at approximately the same rate it can "seem" as if the skill costs more when it levels up because of how the skills increase in cost as your character levels up. For instance at level 20 it costs 1460 magicka, and if you level your character to 21 the magicka cost of the skill will now be 1517 (skill level 1). If you then spend a skill point in it then your cost will be 1480 (skill level 2). So it appears that spending that skill point increased the cost of the skill 20 points. However you need to take into consideration that your magicka pool has also increased with that level increase. So the real "cost" of the skill has been reduced, even without the spend of the skill point in some instances.

If someone hadn't paid attention to the magicka cost of the skill prior to spending the skill point after they leveled though I can see where they might get confused.
