Divinity: Original Sin 2 - All Skill Book Combinations

Divinity: Original Sin 2 adds plenty of interesting wrinkles to the western-RPG formula, and one of those wrinkles is the ability to combine two skill books and create an entirely new ability. In-game, there’s no way to know what you’ll get before combining two skills books. There’s a ton of awesome abilities out there, so instead of going in blind, here’s a full list of Level 1 Skill Book combos.

To use Skill Book combo abilities, you’ll need at least one level in both types of magic — combos only seem to work when combining elemental magic and non-elemental magic. That means you can’t combine two elemental skill books together. It’ll all become clear in the list below.

Some of the skill book combos are completely, insanely broken. It isn’t clear what all the skill books actually do, so you’ll need to do some experimentation on your own. Check out all the skill books and results you’ll get from combinations.

All Skill Book Combinations | Complete List

Skill Books can be combined to create a new Skill Book that utilizes both types of magic. You can only combine one Elemental Skill Book and one Non-Elemental Skill Book — elementals and non-elementals don’t mix with each other.

To use a combo Skill Book, you’ll need at least one point in both types of magic. Some powers may require two or more points, so keep that in mind when combining.
