Quick Look
- Talk to Faralda, she will give you a book.
- Visit Windward Ruins, activate the pedestal and cast a fire spell on it.
- Visit North Skybound Watch, same as before, but casting a frost spell.
- Visit Four Skull Lookout, same as before, but casting a shock spell.
- Learn the spell contained within the book.
Once your Destruction skill reaches 100, a new conversation option ("What else is there to be learned about Destruction magic?") opens up with Faralda, the Destruction trainer at the College of Winterhold. Selecting this option will result in Faralda giving you a book, Power of the Elements. The incomplete book contains only a clue in the form of a poem:
This clue points to Windward Ruins, a small barrow just outside Dawnstar. Inside the barrow is a pedestal upon which you can place the book. Once you have done so, cast any fire spell at the book. A small explosion will occur. Pick up the book again, and you will notice it has acquired a new page:
The second pedestal is found at North Skybound Watch, another barrow on the Southern slopes of the Throat of the World, not far north-east of the starting town of Helgen. It is easiest to get there from Orphan Rock, as it is within sight of the fast travel point. The pedestal is on a stone lookout post. This time, cast any frost spell at the book to receive the next clue:
This final clue points to Four Skull Lookout, another small barrow near Karthwasten and north of Karthspire in The Reach (east and slightly north of Markarth - directly East across the gorge from Lovers Stone). The pedestal is on the other side of the stone building. Casting any lightning spell at the book completes it.
Pick up the book and read it to complete the quest.
