Other games have used spellbooks.
shrugs .
We'll just have to see how well it works.

I admit the book animation looked strangely cartoon-ish.
I felt like they accidentally showed footage of a completely different game.

mage 1: you know how we can enchant items with magic
mage 2: yeah?
mage 1: ever tried inscribing magic onto a piece o paper, like a magic scroll?
mage 2: what, like ready to go spells? wouldn't those be hard to carry around all individually?
mage 1: yeah, you're right....i got it! how about we make it a book full of the stuff.
mage 2: Genius!

It's at the1:30 mark in this video.

Cheers.

That doesn't worry me at all. It looks like it acts as a booster, like the Wisp spell from DA:O, or Torchwood from Plants vs Zombies.

Or you can just...  cast the spell, without carrying anything around.

spell book was awesome y complain

[GreyLycanTrope]

I have no problem with this.

[Herr Uhl]

I think it might be a new weapon option for magic users. Gives more customization options than just staves.

Considering Vivienne doesn't use one, I doubt it is mandatory.

When you can do it in your head, why carry paper?  Enchantments are for selling to mundanes.

Mage 2: we could just cast the stuff you know?
Mage 1: We yes, non-mages no. think of how profitable this can be.
Mage 2: yeah we'd be rich, right up until the point someone thinks they can just treat as a resource and cut the middleman.
Mage 1: damn....

As pointed out by Cirram55, that was not the Inquisitor... It was an enemy. Also, Vivienne doesn't use a spellbook.

Based on that, I'm not overly worried about it.

That was also a wtf moment. I've seen lots of that in Japanese anime and such, including video games. It just doesn't fit to me. It looks cool. I'll give it that. Hopefully next won't be saying spell words or magic wands. No! No magic wands! They already have plenty of British in the game.

Magic staves aren't British?

[CuriousArtemis]

I'm not a fan of the floating book or anything "silly," but there was certainly 99% of the rest of the footage that I loved

I know. It was more a pun toward Harry Potter.

The spellbook looks like it could be a potentially interesting player weapon, though I kind of wish it was on it's own instead of with a staff.

[Kenny Da Finn]

What?! You are telling me that you are against the idea of having a magical floating fire book that you go all Merlin over. Beyond that think of the pure defensive bonuses from such a item.

That was a iron bark hard cover 1st edition fire spell book with a Bronto leather casing and Halla horn engravings and I need not tell you that you would be hard pressed to find a shield capable of stopping sword slashes, axe cleaves and arrow shots as well as this pure magnificence of literature.

This is a must have for mages all over Thedas from dark and broody apostates to vibrant Maker worshippers you need not look any further Mister Magics Floating Grimoire Collection.

[crimzontearz]

it looks nifty and high fantasy....I likes

[Matthew Moore]

I thought it looked cool. I really liked how the animations looked in dragon age 2, especially for Mages and this looks like way more badass version of that.

its part of BWs secret, evil plan to go back to Vancian magic.

I thought the spell book was looking really neat.
Have I misheard or did they devs say that mages won't be able to use swords?

Spellbooks are a great alternative and hopefully they'll come with an individual skill tree.

[Wulfram]

It looks good, but I'm having difficulty reconciling it with how magic works in Thedas.

[Bayonet Hipshot]

I like it..its fantastical...and it is a fantasy game

[mikeymoonshine]

Yeah the mage with the book was an Enchanter I dunno if your player will be able to cast from a book or not but we have only ever seen an enemy npc do it.
