Oghma Infinium
The Oghma Infinium is a book written by Xarxes for the Daedric Prince Hermaeus Mora. It is obtained from within a Dwemer Lockbox at the end of the quest "Discerning the Transmundane." The artifact has the ability to increase 6 skills by 5 levels. You can pick from 3 Paths: Might, Shadow, or Magic. Choosing the Path of Might will increase the skills Heavy Armor, One-Handed, Two-Handed, Smithing, Archery, and Block. The Path of Shadow will increase Light Armor, Speech, Pickpocket, Alchemy, Sneak, and Lockpicking skills. Finally, choosing the path of Magic will increase Destruction, Restoration, Alteration, Illusion, Conjuration, and Enchanting abilities.
The quest "Discerning the Transmundane" is obtained by talking to Septimus Signus in his outpost after level 15. He starts by asking you to use the Elder Scroll found in Alftand, a Dwemer ruin, to complete the Lexicon that he gave you. You must solve a puzzle in the ruin using the Lexicon to obtain the Elder Scroll. In the process, the Lexicon will be completed. Return to Septimus. The next thing he will want you to do is Harvest the blood of all Elvish races including the Falmer, Dunmer(Dark Elf), Altmer(High Elf), Bosmer(Wood Elf), and Orsimer(Orc). Once all of the blood has been harvested and given to Septimus, he will open the Dwemer Lockbox, then turn to ash as he is no longer useful to Hermaeus Mora. Hermaeus Mora will state you as his new Champion and will allow you to obtain and use the Oghma Infinium.
