I think this ticket has two parts to it:

after doing this for awhile i realized if you dont spend all your skills and leave the last one out before wiping again you actually dont lose a single skill....

First is a bug, where if you don't spend all your talent points, you don't lose a single talent point.

Second is a design problem where mindwipe should probably penalize the user more on every consecutive use (which was it's original design but seemed more complex / perhaps overly harsh).
