A Wayerd pyramid is used to dry herbs as the first step in preparing a potion. To use the standard pyramid you must be outside with the sun visible.
Open the pyramid and place the herbs inside. Close it set it on the ground. As long as it is in the sun the pyramid will emit a low humming noise as the sun's rays shine down on it a couple times a minute.
After awhile open the pyramid and look inside to see of the herbs are dry. It is recommended that you guard your pyramid while its on the ground just so that no one thinks it has been left behind. Alternatively, you can use the LOWER command to lower your pyramid onto the ground, protecting it within your inventory while it dries.
Cambrinth
Wayerd pyramids also come in the cambrinth variety, although these are extremely difficult to come by. Cambrinth Wayerd pyramids may be used at any time, even indoors. In order to use a cambrinth Wayerd pyramid, you must charge it and then invoke it, either while it is in your hand or on the ground. Each kind of cambrinth pyramid, no matter what it looks like, can hold a maximum of 10 mana, and each hum of the pyramid uses one mana stream. Again, you should guard your cambrinth pyramid while it is on the ground. Alternatively, using the LOWER command will protect your pyramid from charging attempts by other players as well as ensuring you don't abandon it.
EXAMPLE:
>charge pyramid 10
You harness some energy and attempt to channel it into your Wayerd pyramid.
The Wayerd pyramid absorbs all of the energy.
Roundtime: 5 seconds.
>drop pyramid
You drop a Wayerd pyramid with a cambrinth capstone.
>guard pyramid
You move into position to guard a Wayerd pyramid with a cambrinth capstone.
>invoke pyramid
The Wayerd pyramid pulses with (mana) energy. You reach for its center and forge a magic link to it, readying all of its mana for your use.
The Wayerd pyramid emits a low humming noise drawing power from its cambrinth capstone.
