I think it's not intentional.
When using assassin skills granted by trainer they subject to AS failure. Just happened to me twice with Obscuring Mist.
That a bug, right?

Note that these "spells" are in widget form and are affected by Arcane Spell Failure where the default assassin spells are not: It's a thing.

Oh crap. Any justification for that, or it's homebrew? I mean it should be a skill, not a spell, right?

Well, the spells are spells. Assassin do usually get spells, and I think the "skills" are supposed to represent that. And, since they're arcane, ASF applies.

Let me put it this way then, because I do not think their skills should qualify as spells.
Why do default assassin "spells" surpass ASF and Amia "spells" doesn't?
What if you build a str. based assassin? You're heavily punished as you are almost unable to use these "spells" because of full plate/shield ASF penalty, even if you pass the inteligence reqs.
Sure, spells should get ASF. However, spell-like skills should not.

Well, I think it's basically because the default spells are coded that way by Bioware.
I don't think it's a huge deal, personally, because I'm plate-swapping scum, but yeah. It fits, if we're being strict lore-wise, but I don't really see the balance need behind it. That said, Obscuring Mist is shit, tbh, you'll want to use ImpInvis and Freedom before a fight, and darkness shouldn't check ASF, because it doesn't have a somatic component, so the only spell you might want to use is invis, and using that in combat is risky anyway.
