Cannot read books in inventory

[Expert Astrologer]

I have 3 books but cannot find the related Ability to read them. What do I do

[Rhialto]

What are the books? Have you equipped your character with any book?

[Metis]

Some ingame books also don't have an active ability, but rather a passive one. Hold it and get +1 to a skill or two, that kind of stuff.

@Rhialto I chose the inheritance character creation trait which gives me three books. And, yes, I've equipped the said books but cannot find the Ability to use them

[Rhialto]

Are you looking under the Use Item slot? because that slot is so rarely used even with items that I suspect that it will be gone during Y2. Try looking under the actions or ability lists instead.

So you've got Academagia: The Early Empire, Glamour Phemes: An Introduction, and The Need for Concentration and got them all Informed. Let me check...yeah, all three of those books are passive, not active. They don't have associated Abilities that you need to spend a turn to activate, you just hold the book and you'll get the bonus from it.

My thanks. 😁
