Combining Skillbooks

[Archmagos]

After looking up some guides online, I've started to try to combine blank skillbooks to make new skills, but I always get an invalid result when I try to do this. Am I doing something wrong? How would I cobine an aerotheurge book with a polymorph book to get a new skill?

They have to have spells in them: come on, this is obvious.

No need to be rude about it.

Don't mind it OP :) Enjoy the game.
You can combine the blank book with a scroll.

I think this is the only way to LivingWall. Or I may have accidentally killed the vendor....

I don't know man, I'd call that the exact opposite of obvious, how can for example a frost armor book and a summon bone widow book result in a rain of blood book. Combining blank skill books makes more sense to be honest.

I too spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, doing all these possible combinations, and combining already existing skill books never occurred to me, they are a final product after all.

You'll get a different result if you mix source spells and regular spells aswell.

Oh? I thought there is only one spell per combination, that's pretty neat.
Anyway, I'm wondering, is there a crafting recipe book in the game that tells you skill combos are possible? Never found one.

Well, combining two blank books will result in a blank book.
combining a fantasy book with a romance book might make a fantasy romance book?

Combining books with no words makes no sense.
Combining the words of two different schools of spells, makes sense to me at least.

Don't think so, but it's a sort of open secret, once you start seeing skills that require more than one type of skill. Admittedly, it takes a while for those to show up.

I wouldn't call it super obvious though, considering how limited the crafting system is. There's so many items, and so few combos.

Corpse Explosion is like the only hybrid spell worth knowing tho. Don't beat yourself over it.

And yeah, like the other people were saying, blank books go with scrolls.

Alright, thanks. I was somewhat holding off skill crafting until I find a recipe, because looking it up on the internet felt like cheating.

Edit: Though there's a quest in the second act, where an NPC needs a corpse explosion recipe book, so I don't know.
