Betnikh: Unearthing the Past
When killing the cultists (inside their ritual area) they are not spawning any motes at all.
There are six motes necessary to charge the Staff but none can be "captured" because they aren't spawning like they should be when the cultists dies within his ritual area.
On the plus side guess we don't have to wait for the Abomination of Hate to spawn if we cannot even get to that stage of the quest.
