Is Eidetic Memory unlocked account-wide?

I have an alt that has completed the Mages Guild quest line.
I have another alt that has not completed said quest line.
On this alt, i can see the Eidetic Memory section and read the books - but of course only those actually read by this alt.
But the fact that the section appears at all to me is new: i though that Eidetic Memory had to be unlocked per-character, instead it seems to be per-account.
I hope this is not a bug and it's just me not knowing things, because this is a wonderful surprise for me! :)

    It should not be account wide.

    Are you sure it is not just the mages guild lorebooks? Because you get access to "Shalidors Library" even before unlocking EM as I recall...

    I’m 100% sure it’s the Eidetic Memory section, I have separate sections for Shalidor’s Library and Crafting Motifs.
    I noticed that another alt does not have Eidetic Memory: I believe it is visible if you at least begin the Mages Guild quest line.

    Fairly sure it isn’t but I think it definitely should be. Although, would make getting Mage rep a little difficult on alts.

    Do you have Lorebooks(addon) installed?

    Maybe that's causing it to show.

    There's an option in the Lorebooks addon that allows chars to see the eidetic even though they haven't unlocked it yet. Maybe that's what's happening for you.

    It's called Eidetic Memory. Do you keep your memory in someone else's head?

    No? Then nor should your character.

    Yeah, this is my first thought: Lorebooks can enable Editic Memory in the settings.

    Sure enough, it was the Lorebooks add-on! I had no idea that an add-on could do this.
    Well it's a great capability to be honest, so I'm glad it's not a bug! Thank you all for your help! :)
