Hollow palm dual wielding mechanics

Hi ,
I wanted to ask about hollow palm "count as dual wielding" mechanics . I've tried to make hollow palm build with tinctures , but tinctures apparently do not work with it . I wanted to ask if it's a bug or intended game mechanics . I though that dual wield is basically count as melee , but in this case is not either melee or ranged since tinctures do not work even if I take ascendancy that allows to apply tinctures to ranged weapons so that doesn't solve my problem . I know that hollow palm means u are basically unarmed but dual wield can't be unarmed so that's why im asking about it .

Well you can't normally, but with Hollow Palm Technique you count as dual wielding (while Unencumbered). Tinctures only work with weapon attacks, you don't have any.
