The scholar's tome is commonly used to impart the knowledge necessary to modify the appearance of pets or items summoned via compatible spells or abilities. The scholar's tome is intended to alter the appearance of Moongates summoned by a Moon Mage's Moongate spell. You've already learned to customize your summoned Moongates. [If you use the scholar's tome, it will replace your existing customization.] You are rather sure you could READ the scholar's tome to gain its knowledge.
