How to Use the Oghma Infinium
Read the Book
To use the Oghma Infinium you must read the book and you will choose among Read the Path of Steel, Read the Path of Shadow, Read the Path of Spirit. The Path of Steel grants a permanent stat boost on Strength and Speed, while also raising Blade, Blunt, and Heavy Armor skills.
The Path of Shadow boosts Agility and Speed by 10, and also boosts skills like Acrobatics, Stealth, Light Armor, and Unarmored. The Path of Spirit boosts Intelligence and Willpower by 10 points each, and raises Conjuration, Destruction, and Alteration skills by 10 points.
Read When Skills are 100
We suggest that you use the Oghma Infinium when your skill of choice are already level 100. Reading the book will increase the stat up to 110 points.
All Races Locations
The Arena Questline
The easiest way to capture the souls of all races in a single location is to start The Arena Quest. Here, you will face one of each race in a duel to the death.
Daedric Lord Shrines
As an alternative or if you have finished the Arena Questline, you can visit all the Daedric Lord's Shrine and each shrine would have three followers which are typically of different race. There is little to no drawbacks in killing these followers, as you have already finished all the Daedric Quests at this point.
