Steps

  1. Spell up (optional, but helps immensely)
  2. Memorize the Celestial sigil for Katamba.
    • Command: study Katamba / Sigilbook / Scroll
      • Failure message: You are unable to comprehend the nature of the sigil behind the moon Katamba.
        • If you fail when studying Katamba, wait 3 minutes and try again. Scrolls and Sigilbooks are more forgiving and you may repeatedly try until you get it.
  3. With the burin in your right hand, scribe your pearl with the Katamba sigil.
    • Command: scribe my pearl
      • Failure message: The sigil flutters along the black pearl but fails to do anything.
        • Go back to step 2 if you fail to scribe.
  4. Charge the pearl.
    • Commands: prep shadows, cast my pearl
      • Messaging: A veil of shadows covers the black pearl, only to be instantly drawn inside.
      • Success: The pearl pulses from within with a deep ebony shadow.
        • Do NOT over charge, the pearl may explode.
  5. Memorize the Celestial sigil for Katamba.
    • Command: study Katamba / Sigilbook / Scroll
      • Failure message: You are unable to comprehend the nature of the sigil behind the moon Katamba.
        • If you fail when studying Katamba, wait 3 minutes and try again. Scrolls and Sigilbooks are more forgiving and you may repeatedly try until you get it.
  6. With the burin in your right hand, scribe your pearl with the Katamba sigil.
    • Command: scribe my pearl
      • Failure message:
        • Go back to step 5 if you fail to scribe.
  7. Activate the sigil.
    • Commands: prep Shadows / Dazzle / Unleash, cast my pearl.
      • Fail Message: You sense that the sigil on the pearl has failed to activate.
        • If you fail to activate the sigil before it fades away, you must go back to step 5.
  8. Bind the sigil to the pearl.
    • Command: focus my pearl
      • You will get a 12 second Round Time, and a little message telling you that you need to focus on the pearl again in order to permanently bind the sigil to the pearl.
    • Command: focus my pearl
      • Focus until you bind the sigil.
      • Fail Message:
        • If the sigil fades before you succeed, you must go back to step 5.

How to Use

In order to use a devourer egg, all you have to do is drop the pearl from your hand.

Messaging:
You thumb your black pearl and let it fall.
The pearl cracks open like an egg to disgorge a pool of thin shadows which quickly congeal into an opaque multi-armed devourer.

Notes

You can injure, and eventually kill off a devourer by repeatedly casting Dazzle at it.

If you drop more than one pearl that has been made into a devourer egg, the two devourers will merge into a new, larger devourer. You can do this 12 times before something nasty happens. On the 13th time you drop a devourer egg, your devourer will either explode into nothing, or it will explode and a Shadow Master will form. Good luck fighting the Shadow Master, they have a wide array of powers, including summoning other creatures. They are also immune to normal weapons and most spells. Dazzle is effective on them, doing some small vitality damage. I believe that Burn and Starlight Sphere also work. Shadows and Dinazen Olkar will actually heal them.
