Spoiler warning! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

Reading this scroll summons a unique Quasit familiar named Shovel and begins a dialogue interaction with her.

Some characters can use this dialogue to learn the ability to summon her once per Short Rest as a ritual (via Find Familiar: Cheeky Quasit). The following classes and races produce successful results. The list may not be exhaustive:

• Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer
• Warlock
• Wizard
• Dragonborn

Dialogue navigation:

• Upon greeting, pick any response other than "Leave", which locks you out of the subsequent dialogue.
• Ask about her name, and pick "Shovel is fine". This seems to be the key dialogue option. Other choices at this stage seem to prevent you from learning the spell.
• Your subsequent responses don't seem to matter.
• She always brings up "the book" and closes the dialogue.
• Ensure the character has successfully read "the book" and talk to the familiar again.
• If all prerequisites were met, the familiar responds with a line starting with "Oh, oh, a spell shite!", and at this point, the character obtains the summoning spell.
• If the familiar gets stuck on "See. Tell you truth, beefy." and the summoning spell has not been obtained, some of the prerequisites may not have been met.

The order of reading the book and/or interacting with the familiar doesn't seem to matter. One may summon the familiar before entering the laboratory and finding the book, or find and read the book before summoning the familiar, and still obtain the summoning spell.

The character level doesn't seem to matter. One may obtain and read Necromancy of Thay, briefly respec via Withers into any class listed above at level 1, obtain the summoning spell, then respec back. When learned this way, the spell is categorized as "common" / "racial", and persists when changing the class via Withers. Beware that respeccing unsummons the familiar, and must be done before summoning the familiar or after exhausting its dialogue and learning the summon.

Alternatively, a Wizard can scribe the scroll to their spellbook to gain the Find Familiar: Cheeky Quasit spell. When learned this way, the spell is categorized under "Wizard", and becomes unavailable when changing the class via Withers.
