I like the idea of tightening up the spell naming contentions (which occurred with the v3.0 D&D). Wilderness Lore was a Wisdom-based skill. This was an unnecessary change from the otherwise-applicable convention in v3.0 D&D that any "Lore" skill is an Intelligence-based skill, also known as "knowledge" skills. Unnecessary exceptions only cause confusion, and changes like this are quite easily made. Besides, most wilderness navigation was handled by Wilderness Lore checks anyway, so Intuit Direction was an almost entirely useless skill to dump points into.
