I had it freshly learned from a book and got 2 castings out of it!? Has it been nerfed or something? I'm playing a fighter so perhaps that doesn't help...

Playing a fighter, you actually got super lucky the book didn’t self destruct, or worse.
Trust me, book star sign isn’t going to turn your fighter into a caster. The sign is the most helpful to semi-casters such as bards, healers, and paladins. The factors that go into book learning are: class, race(eg non trolls) learning score, star sign, literacy, concentration, spell difficulty, and your level.
But do those factors go into the # of castings? I was able to get plenty of atlas castings so it seems like acid ball is singled out. Wonder if it was a stealth nerf applied some versions ago...
Strength of atlas is considered only slightly harder to learn than light and darkness. Acid ball is considered very hard to learn in comparison. And yes, the harder the spell is to learn, the lower number of castings you get. However, if you have good pp regen, then book casting it is a great way to train mana!
You are playing a melee. . . . if you want to kill things with acid ball play a caster class.

I personally hope that melee classes are never "balanced" to caster classes. Casters are far too easy and melee keeps the game interesting. Casters just amass power and nuke everything, melee requires you to use actual strategy.
