As for Mote Hound perk

They give you spellcaster XP when you absorb them. You can only carry 7 at a time, and you can't see them outside of the initial fetch quest without the perk.

Source - my spellcaster has the perk too.

Do you mean XP is talent points or magical power?

The bar that shows you what your spellcaster rank is. Absorbing motes will increase the bar slightly.

Ahhh thanks so much! :D

Also, they raise a random need by a little bit each time you eat one.

wow!! That's a new one I haven't seen. Thanks a lot! :D I will try some of them today. :D

I still think it's funny that they absorb the mote by eating it lol

What do these motes look like? Are they only found in the magical realm? (Is it the black spot in the left-center of the screenshot? I have a lot of floaters in my eyes, and my computer screen tends to collect dust and cat hair, so I might very well be missing them because I assume it's a floater or a dirty spot on my screen.)

@invisiblgirl Motes are the little blue-purple balls you collect for the sages after you ask them to turn you into a spellcaster. You can find them hovering above the ground in the magic realm, like little ghost lights, but to see them permanently, you have to get the corresponding perk.

Thanks - I'll have to look for them. I probably ignored them as random sparkliness in the background, not anything useful.
