In the case of black magic, it is the magician and not the demon who must sign the pact. The agreement set forth above is purely ceremonial magic. In symbolism, an inverted figure always signifies a perverted power. It merely takes the emblematic figures of white magic, and by inverting and reversing them signifies that it is left-handed. Black magic is not a fundamental art it is the misuse of an art. He must therefore distort the hierograms so that they typify the occult fact that he himself is distorting the principles for which the symbols stand.

Go to Baurus and tell him what you found out.The black magician cannot use the symbols of white magic without bringing down upon himself the forces of white magic, which would be fatal to his schemes. Not only will he give you the book for free, but share some details of a meeting he arranged with some cultists to get the fourth tome. Talk to him and tell him that the Mythic Dawn is behind the Emperor's assassination.

The other way is to wait for the customer to come. You have to Speechcraft him (raise his disposition to about 85) and he'll sell it to you for 100 Gold. The proprietor will tell you that he actually has one copy of the third part in stock, but it is a special order for a customer who has already paid for it. She'll suggest that you begin your search in First Edition, a bookstore in Market District. You've already got the first one, Tar-Meena will give you the second one.

She will tell you that in order to find the Mythic Dawn you will have to find four tomes of their "handbook". Talk to Baurus to find out that Tar-Meena in Arcane University might be able to help you with finding the cult. Search his body to find a book about Mythic Dawn. When he walks out to the basement, wait for the second man to follow him, and then go there yourself to help Baurus defeat the spy. When you talk to Baurus, he'll tell you to sit down. Go to Elven Gardens in Imperial City, to Luther Broad's Boarding House. Jauffre will tell you to find Baurus - a guard, who just like you was the Emperor's death's eyewitness.
