Abyssal spells (Engraved Pyramidion)

[Grey Watcher]

So I've found Engraved Pyramidion, which "allows apprentice wizards to learn and cast Abyssal spells (learning also requires black soul gems)".

I do have three black soul gems, a Tome of Ritual Sacrifice (it is an abyssal spell, isn't it?) and also an Amulet of Sacrifice (which "must be equipped in order to sacrifice something using a sacrificial circle and a ritual").

And I'm standing in, what I assume is, a sacrificial circle which I found in cultist lair.

I even have 1 spare talent point.

But I just can't figure out how to learn that spell. How does it work?

Did you identify the pyramid by identify item in the town? If yes, thats the problem.
You need to let it identify in the repair Item tab. The same way you give the equalizer back.

The artisans guild will identify it for you (a heritage is unlocked then).

Then you just need a black soul gem and you can learn the spell. There is no need to have something else. No amulet no circle of sacrifice.

Nope, I identified it myself by using a scroll and thus it's useless now. Good thing, that I made a save prior to that mission - by doing as you said it all worked up. Thanks.

But I kinda don't see logic in that you have to give it to the guild unidentified only.

I made the same mistake with the horn first time.

But I don't get the logic neither.

I think you can learn them without having it identifiied in the guild. But you will need at least one magic literacy talent.

Only when you have the heritage. And the heritages is unlocked via identification via the guild
