Was fighting a cavefisher in the underdark and got a message
that said i couldn't get better at the nuances of nova because
a cavefhisher is immune, but it still did heavy damage.

Yes I have read the help file, that's why i am asking if it's a
bug. The cavefisher still took damage so it couldn't have been
immune to the damage could it?

Try reading it again. There's at least one sentence you're ignoring.

'SKILL IMPROVEMENT'
A number of factors go into determining the rate at which one of your
character's skills improves. The main factors are:
Your intelligence (INT).
The natural difficulty of learning the skill.
Your level.
Your age. Older characters learn more quickly.
Your current skill. It becomes harder to improve as you get closer to
mastery (100%).
'Hostile' skills (weapons, defenses, things that cause combat, etc.) take
into account the relative power of your opponent. Fighting challenging battles
sharply increases your chance of improvement.
Invokers only: Your affinity for the element you are manipulating.
Generally, the skill improvement system favors real use of a skill over cheesy
methods. For example, you can't learn anything (even while not in combat)
while wielding a weapon you don't know how to use or while fighting an opponent
immune to your attacks.
Please Enlighten me, Cause i have no clue apparently

There's the part we're talking about.
Nova? Not the attacks we're talking about.

I wished i had gotten it logged to show you. But yes nova
note the attack. I was using a dagger which is near
perfected. I cast nova @ cavefisher. Cavefisher is anhilated
by your nova. You can't learn the nuances of nova cause a
cavefisher is immune. That's what happened.

If the cavefisher is immune to your physical attacks (e.g. dagger), you can't learn ANYthing fighting it.
