So I placed the fragment in the altar before talking to the mage...

What now? i can't take the fragment back

There are more fragments. You can find them at other temples (the world spawns with quite a few).

Ok, but please add a popup when placing the fragment if you haven't spoken to the mage yet saying "You might need this later, are you sure you want to place it here permanently?"

Oof. Just got hit with this myself. Yeah, definitely needs a fix. The fact that the suggested fix is so easy to implement yet hasn't been done is crazy to me.

Perhaps would be better to add a main quest update in that case? So that if you ever use up all your fragments (that counting ones in any storage) before giving using one for the main quest, it would add the main quest update, something like:

"I should find another fragment if I would want to continue with this investigation. The first I found was in the temple, perhaps other temples would have more?"

Can differentiate if already experienced finding additional fragments in temples, then it can be something like:

"If I would want to continue this investigation, I would need another fragment from another temple."
