I’m trying to figure out the puzzle for Vahtacen’s Secret quest. I’ve looked at the references, but I can’t seem to connect them to the actual puzzle. I ended up solving it by just throwing random spells at it, but I really want to understand the mechanics behind it.

Once you read the text on the pillars, the next step is to check the book for translations. You should visit Denel for help understanding them. The translations are:
– ‘Av Molag Anyammis’ means Fire Damage,
– ‘Av Mafre Nagaia’ means Frost Damage,
– ‘Magicka Loria’ relates to damaging Magicka,
– ‘Magicka Sila’ refers to fortifying Magicka.
So just match your spells to those meanings, and you’ll be good to go!
If I remember right, the puzzle involves the pillars and requires specific types of magic. You need to use Fire and Cold spells in that order, along with reducing and raising your Magicka. It’s all about matching the spells to the corresponding pillars based on what you decipher from the clues.
Yeah, I managed to get it right by accident, but I still don’t get why that order works.
