Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General Skill Paths

When encountering the ghost Edmond I asked can you teach me anything, I picked one of the two options, paid the gold, but nothing seemed to have happened. I also found a skill book and clicked on it, it said that I had learned the skill of identification. None of these skills, however, are showing up in the skill tree. Am I doing something wrong here, or does this not work in the demo?

Basically you need to put skill points into a certain tree.
For instance with identification you learn the skilltree and then when you level up you get a single skill point so then just use it for identification.

When you open the skill pane and click on one of the open tiles, you should get a list of available categories; warrior, wizard, survivor or summoning dolls.
Edmond's skills should be under 'Wizard, Elemental attack, Focused, Missile' or 'Wizard, Elemental defense, Individual, Resistance'
Fergus' dropped book should teach you 'Warrior, Craftmanship, Identify, Equipment'
Other available skills depend on your starting skill class for each character. You can click on a button in the bottom left of the skill pane to toggle between showing available skills and showing all skills.

LOL, that sounds a bit clearer
