The black prism can be obtained during Zogre Flesh Eaters quest. During the quest, it can be found in the coffin to the west of the skeleton on the floor. If you look-at it, there is a description which suggests that it was involved in the explosion that hit the area, and was blasted into the coffin. Zavistic Rarve identifies it as a tool of necromancy.

This artefact has been used to resurrect the dead ogres in Jiggig as Zogres and Skogres. Later in the quest, the player discovers that it was Sithik Ints who has used to do so out of his hatred toward ogres. After the quest, you can sell it to Zavistic Rarve for 2000 coins or Yanni Salika for 5000 coins.

Trivia

  • The black prism is the only object that can be sold to Yanni that is not obtained during the Shilo Village quest.
  • If you sell the black prism to either Zavistic or Yanni, they will automatically take ALL prisms you own. So even if you have multiple prisms in your inventory or stored in your bank, they will all automatically disappear.
    • However, if you drop several prisms before selling one, you will be able to keep the ones on the ground.
    • If you try selling a second Black prism to Yanni, he will refuse to buy it again.
    • If you sold a prism to Yanni, then Zavistic will refuse to buy your drop tricked second one, claiming that "you have already sold me one of these". Therefore you should sell your prism only once, to the highest bidder: Yanni Salika, if you can.
