If you unlock Tomke, you learn that this character has only one Action Skill—Uncanny Encounter. Moreover, you don’t unlock new Tomke skills, even if you level up this hero. The only way to open a new Action Skill for Tomke is to use Uncanny Encounter against cannable enemies.

Also, keep in mind that you should use Uncanny Encounter only if the opponent has less than ¼ of their health points. Otherwise, you will simply spend your Grimoire Shard without a result. Below, you can find a list of all skills you can get from Canned Enemies.
