Necromancer's Apprentice

After Lothian's death ceremony, talk to Vividos. He is now the Necromancer. He will ask you if you would like to become an apprentice Necromancer. If so, he will tell you to fetch him some executioner's hood from a place of danger and sticks from where spirits roam.

To get the hood, follow the dirt path back through the archway and then head east, perpendicular to the road. You will have to go south 5 or ten steps too. You will find a pit with changelings in it (shown above). At the center is an island of sorts with executioner's hood on it.

To get the sticks, Teleport to Central Tenebrae and head west into west Tenebrae. You will find the sticks under a tree in the northwest area. (15150,3050,56,39) There will be a ghost and a burnt out building nearby (Pictured above). Get the sticks. With the patch installed, the "sticks" are called "Dead Man's Elbow" instead.

Return to Vividos. The guard will inform you along the way that Devon and Bentic were arrested and that you are under suspicion. Drop all but one of the hood before you talk to Vividos. You don't need the sticks. Vividos will give you the key of the caretaker. When you place the proper reagents in a bag and use the key on the bag, an icon for a necromancy spell will be created. Go upstairs and read the book that has Open Ground and Speak with the Dead in it. Collect some Reagents too.
