No search still so, cant get this to work and I just spent a pretty massive whack of my accrued funds on it.

This avatars a Dwarven noble warrior, doesn't work.
In Desperation tried it on a couple of party members planning to re-load if necessary.

Both Alistair and Leliana, both suitable classes from the description, a warrior and a rogue and it wont work for them either.

So...It cost alot of money.

I've had the same problem with both this and the arcane technique books, if you drag it to the hotkey bar at the bottom it will show up as an arcane book if its physical and a physical if it's arcane. im not sure exactly how i fixed it i just left it, played on with the game a bit, and tried again later. for instance last time it happened for me was with an arcane book i was trying to use on morrigan just before i entered the tower. it didnt work i stopped trying, went into the tower and literally as soon as i got wynne in my party it worked (10-15 minutes of playing tops) i dont think its the additional party member that solved it i think u just gotta advance a quest possibly?

on the PC



hold right click on the item in the inventory and select use.



Exit the inventory screen and it will auto use

[Lord Badmagic]

Thanks levigarrett but that's what I was doing. 

Cheers Adrigaar, hadn't tried adding to the skills bar and
as you said, its showing as arcane. 

Many hours in and still have a unusable book however, do you
have to get beyond recruiting Wynne?  I wonder as I have not gone for her yet,
if that is the case its another very strange undocumented arbitrary restriction.

Seems like its bugged to me as there is no mention of requirements
to use it beyond the class restriction yet don't see a bugs section on the
boards and with no search google is pretty useless as all I can see are people
stating the same problem.

I had this problem. To solve it i used the mage book on morigan, when i chose to use it both tomes were selected. Thankfully only the mage book was used. I could then use the other tome.

[Havelock2009]

I had the same problem and think it only happens if you have both types of books in your inventory.

Used the arcane first and then the physical technique book worked.

[Lord Badmagic]

Well, unfortunately I don't have an arcane version of the book and had not intended on buying any in the foreseeable future. 



We really need a bug's sub-forum section.

damn were do you guys get the money to buy these books? there are so many things i want to buy but all my funds go into items to make potions.

[jedirogues]

lol a lot of people have probably activated the cheat console, and got extra money using it, i know i did my second time around.

[FFTARoxorz05]

I just had the money for it lying around, but using Shale as a tank means you don't have to keep up Alister's armor and all that. He really saves you some money.

[challenger18]

I had the same problem as well. I'm playing the console version so I doubt there was much hope for a fix anyway.



As for funds, i pretty much saw that up until almost the last bits of the game I was constantly trying to scrap together money to buy stuff. Looting every chest I could, picking up every item I could and selling any gifts that weren't really good for any party members.

[JTwizzy88]

tomes seem not to work in certain areas and from what I understand only your main character can use them in camp

Were you a nice guy in regards to the plot npcs?  Also, random encounters are your friend for currency generation.

[Palesblade]

Thanks for the heads up guys, I was also wondering why my tomes weren't working. Hopefully for the PC there will be a patch for it.

[Lord Badmagic]

Simple way to make money, play on "Normal" instead of the higher settings, at that you can get by on crafting your own pots, to be honest you could get away with found pots on the normal setting and rely on "found" gear for equipment instead of buying overpriced temporary upgrades from merchants.

Aside from that the only thing I actually spent money on was health/mana pot recipes, bags and this one book, I'm skint now but its beyond being fixable by reloading, it was a while ago I bought it, dreading finding any more bags any time soon as I'll be about 2 or 3g short at the moment.

Also with poisons, with only the person that can make them able to use them combined with them being for melee only its a bit of a waste of time unless you have a melee rogue thats trained in them on a more difficult setting.

[Lord Badmagic]

Oh, also just thought, one quick way I made cash which was basically cheating, I sold all the guff pre-order stuff I had, came to something like 9g right at the start of the game.
