To make something clear: The pearl is a scroll. You are not a wizard so it is a one-use item for you even if you decipher it.

So fun thought, but is anyone considering how our knight would feel if we kept the chalice?
As I get the feeling he wouldn't be all that hot on the idea of us keeping a more or less demon summoning item from his point of view. So we might want to weigh if the possible gains for it would be worth the possible loss of trust with our knight.
Lastly, if we do end up keeping the fire summoning chalice, how do we plan to use it without tipping our hand here about the magic? As summoning fire elements isn't really a magic that is easy to disguise or hide.
Also, would it be possible for us to study both items under a detect magic for a minute or two here first to get a better understanding before making a final choice?

So was it the effect of the user that summoned a evil elemental or just the item as a whole?

We could also give it back to the Priests.

True, but that might put us on their Rader and I'm all for avoiding that like the plague. As those guys are nothing but bad juju and if they get any inkling about us having magic, we can either be on the altar or get recruited.
So really fuck those guys and let someone else deal with them.
No the process goes like this:
- Necromancer McEvil is walking around the elemental plane of fire using Evil spells.
- The taint of one of these spells lingers creating a Harginn
- Later someone binds a Harginn a Mephit and maybe more things to the Chalice.
Wait, so if someone later summons the Harginn with the chalice, it could tell them about our abilities?
Ah, good to know and thanks for clearing that up for me.
Though what about my question of doing a quick detect magic on the two items here for more intel?
No, it was bound as opposed to summoned to the Material Plane so you killed it for real. That is why you got it's core too.

Detect magic is not Analyze Dwemoer. It would just tell you that the item has a conjuration aura.

Not true, as we should also get to see if there is more then one magic aura/effect on the items and what tier of power the magic auras would be.
As that info would help tell us if keeping and/or studying them would be worth the risk.

Still would not tell you that much:
- Chalice: moderate conjuration
- Pearl: It is a scroll, no intrinsic magic in it.
In the end, the mistress (and possibly the fence or his brother or whoever else he showed it to) could possibly blab about the chalice, so keeping it seems a bit too risky.
What I'm more curious about is where the chalice came from. The description was 'ancient fire-blackened chalice marked with strange flowing writing that looked as unusually new', so it seems to me that someone has created/enhanced this magic item recently. I wish we could ask who he stole it from.

True, but learning that the chalice is at least a 3rd circle/tier spell item and at best a 6th, is helpful info to have.
Since on the higher level of that scale, is magic powerful enough to bring back the dead and so of great value to study for more insight into the conjuration school of magic.
Viserys is of the oppinion IC that Yma at least will not talk anymore about this for fear of being thought insane.
Besides, even if she did talk about the chalice, we could always say it wasn't there or we didn't find it among his things.
Damn that demon-summoning and how it conveniently destroys items.

I agree with ironforge nothing good will come from that chalice.

I would not be so sure... There is a symmetry no one has gotten about the chalice.
Symmetry. Thee lines, three potential sacrifices, two bound entities so far. Who is missing?
