MoTB Problem with controlling Gann

Gann has access to some spells that Safiya cannot learn, such as Tortoise Shell and some others. Therefore, the game must have intended him to be used for some crafting as some essences require spells to be used that only he can cast.

The problem is, resting is bad due to spirit eater meter going down and more need to feed, so I prefer to exhaust both their supplies of crafting spells before resting to refil and continue crafting.

At least that was my intention. I'm a fair way into the game and have saved all my essences & done many rounds of all shadow areas to gain more. However now I've started the process I've realised that I don't seem to be able to use Gann's spells to activate the cafting, in fact I can't cast his spells at all!

Any idea of the cause/solution/workaround?

not the game, but you intend to play Gann in certain and such ways.

anyway, Gann, unlike Safiya, doesn't have crafting feats and skills to begin with, just want to make sure that you did give him the required feats / skills when you leveled him up?

Yeah he has the craft magic arms and armour and craft wonderous item feats. I tried to use the console to give Safiya the "Tortoise Shell" spell but it wouldn't do it because she isn't the right class. Gann has that spell but I can't cast his spells manually.

Obviously the game did mean for him to be the only one who could craft the item that needs that spell or they would have made Safiya able to learn it (unless they expect only ppl playing as Spirit Shamans to be able to do it but that seems a bit dumb as the item isn't specifically relevant to Spirit Shamans).

Anyway...
