The intent was that every spell cast needs an anchor to the "Spell Node" on the Essence plane. This is normally a Talisman. However, the physical Grimoire can *act as* a talisman for any spell it contains (because *it* is connected to the Grimoire Node, and so are the spells in it).
I'm away from my books at the moment, so can't look up what the rule *says*, but that was the *intent* when we wrote it.
