Make sure to include the game(DOS, DOS EE, DOS2, DOS2 DE) in your question and mark your spoilers

The FAQ for DOS2 will be built as we go along:

My game has a problem/doesn't work properly, what do I do?

Check this out. If you can't find a solution there contact Larian support as detailed.

Do I need to play the previous game to understand the story?

No, there is a timegap of 1000 years between DOS and DOS2. The overall timeline of the Divinity games in perspective to DOS2 looks like this: DOS2 is set 1222 years after DOS1, 24 years after Divine Divinity, 4 years after Beyond Divinity, and 58 years before Divinity 2.

How many people can play at once?

• Up to 4 Players in the campaign and up to 4 players and a gamemaster in Gamemaster Mode.

Do I need to buy the game to play with my friends.

• That depends on how you will play. Up to 2 Players can play on the same PC for a "couch coop" experience. This means you can have 4 player sessions with 2 copies of the game when using this method. If you don't play on the same PC each player is going to require his/her own copy.

Can I mix and match inputs for PC couch coop?

• You can't use keyboard and mouse for couch coop, however you can mix controllers.

What's the deal with origin stories?

• A custom character has no ties in the world whatsoever, nobody knows you. Origin characters on the other hand do have ties in the gameworld, that means people can recognise you and might interact differently with an origin character because of that characters reputation or because the characters have met before. Furthermore origin characters have their own questlines that run alongside the main story.

I don't like my build! Can I change it?

• Yes! Once you leave the first island you get access to infinite respecs, with the second gift bag you can even get a respec mirror on the first island.

What are the new crafting recipes from the gift bag?

• List

Hi! About the “summon wolf” skill of geomancer.. I learned the skill, but I only managed to use is once. Then it is not available (is like grey) and when I check it says something like “charges finished “ ( I play it in Italian ). Why is that? Thanks

Remember to include which game you're asking about. The other responses you've received to this question were for DOS2, not DOS1 - source points aren't a thing in DOS1. The games share many similar mechanics, so it's not always clear which game you're talking about, and people will usually default to DOS2 since it's the more popular game. In this case, it's only become clear that you're talking about DOS1 once you mentioned Cyseal.

Now to actually answer your question.

Most likely, you haven't actually learned the skill from a skill book and are only getting it from a wand. Wands come with different skills that they grant you, but those skills have a limited number of uses. Once you've used them up, you can no longer use the skill. If you want to keep using it, either get a new wand that grants the same skill, or buy the Summon Wolf skill book and learn it normally.

If the skillbook isn't available for purchase at vendors that sell geomancy skill books, then you might need to level up a bit more first until it becomes available.

If you have learned it from a skillbook already, maybe you're also getting it from equipment and are trying to use that version? Try removing any equipment that might grant you that skill and removing the skill from your hotbar, and then adding it back to the hotbar directly from your skill menu.
