Tomes
Who can use Tomes?
Certain Guild Soul Stones are attuned to using Tomes, for example Mage and Tactician. Exalted in different guilds (still have to have soul stones) can become somewhat attuned to the Tomes by the time they learn their third ability. This allows a guild member from a different guild to use a Tome once for a spell before the Tome is no longer useable. Mages/Tacticians who have the attunement can use the Tomes 3 times (unless noted differently) before the Tome falls apart and is useless.
People can carry a max of three tomes at a time into battle. The magical energies around the tomes might cause spells to not work if a person is carrying more than three books.
Ylisstol Tomes
Ylisstol holds the Mage's Guild and has a variety of Tomes available for access to those who can use them. The lower level tomes are relatively cheap and only cost a few gold.
