Any other information about what specifically is happening that might be relevant--perhaps cut&paste an entire fight with a monster, to give us an idea of exactly what is happening.
As was the solution earlier, make sure that you are attacking with your weapon, not your shield! Keeping your gear current with your level is also important.
Next, for magic skill (just to make sure you are aware), everty time your magic skill increases, you have to go to the mage tower to increase each magic type (air, fire, earth, water) to your current magic level.
Lastly, make sure that you are attacking the monsters with the correct magic type, ie. Drunk Sailors are weak against Earth magic, so make sure that you are using that against them.
Coming into chat would be another great way to try to solve your problem! I'm sure most of us would be willing to look at your character and give you some advice.
