    You need to be decent with Photoshop. Also, you should know how to take a design from Photoshop and convert it to CSS & HTML.

    Once you get web ready you need to turn it into a Wordpress theme. More information on how to create a Wordpress theme can be found in their codex.

    Here is the link: http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development

    It all depends on what you want to do really. Learning some JavaScript would be good. jQuery is a JS library.
    So, if you like the features of jQuery, you could visit their site, download it, and look in their docs to see how to use it.

    1. PHP - If familiar with OOP is better
    2. Javascript - jQuery, jQuery UI, TinyMCE, jQuery Form
    3. CSS
    4. Wordpress API and functions - things like add_filter(), the loop etc
    5. HTML - things such as semantic tags, HTML5, form elements etc
    6. SEO's - Things like where to place which tags etc.
    7. MySQL - Help you to avoid bad / misuse of wp queries function
    8. Apache - things like fixing permalinks via .htaccess etc
    9. Great taste for design - not everybody has this :)
    10. Patience - Developing a real "Premium" theme could take months.
