Your attribute's stats determines the maximum level of your skill (Let's say you have an Inteliigence of... 35. Your Security skill cannot go over 35 until you increase your Intelligence)
This part is false and only applies to trainer level ups.
Leveling up the normal way isn't capped by your attribute.
Intelligence isn't a problem for spellcasting, except that you won't have a huge mana pool. Every magic school uses Willpower to calculate its success rate.
Also yeah there are many stats but they only affect a few things each :
Strength : Physical Damage (Including ranged weapons), Maximum Weight you can carry, Starting Health, Fatigue.
Intelligence : Maximum Mana, Enchant success rate, Alchemy success rate and potions potency
Willpower : Chance to resist offensive spell effects, chance to cast spells successfully, Fatigue.
Agility : Chance to hit and dodge, Fatigue.
Personality : Starting NPC disposition, Chance to successfully use the Speechcraft and Mercantile skills.
Endurance : Starting Health, Amount of Health gained on Level Up, Fatigue.
Luck : Success rate of everything, but much less than the other stats.
