Manifested knowledge appears as a result of the set effect Shadow-touched training that occurs when the player has the Ring of Whispers, Necklace of Shadows, and combined Catalyst fragment equipped. These items are all rewards from the quest Sliske's Endgame.

While training a skill, a wisp will appear next to the player every 4 minutes, following the previous one's spawn, and lasts for up to 1 minute before disappearing. Siphoning it grants experience in the skill that the player was training when it appeared. If the Chronicle Attraction curse or the spirit attraction potion effect is active when the wisp spawns, the wisp will be automatically siphoned.

When a wisp appears, a filterable message says:

Your training has caused remnants of knowledge from the shadow realm to coalesce nearby.

and after harvesting the wisp:

You harvest the manifested knowledge and gain [number] experience in [Skill].

Experience

Harvesting manifested knowledge awards 10% of a small experience lamp's experience. This is not affected by any kind of bonus experience or experience-boosting sets. Therefore, at level 99 in a skill, the player could gain 13,308 additional experience an hour from manifested knowledge.

Comparison with a Wise off-hand

While training, it is common to use equipment with the Wise Invention perk to increase experience rate. However, most skills have an experience-boosting set occupying the body and legs slots, and several have augmented tools occupying the main-hand slot (with more beneficial perks than Wise). Thus, when the only slot available is the off-hand, there is competition between an augmented item with Wise and the catalyst fragment. (Of course, this is ignoring the other effects of the catalyst fragment. Additionally, if any of the body, legs, or main-hand, are free, a Wise item can be used there instead.)

Manifested knowledge is dependent only on the level of the skill being trained, whereas Wise is dependent on the base experience rate of the action. As such, Wise is better at high experience rates per hour while manifested knowledge is better at lower experience rates per hour. Specifically, at each level, there is a borderline value: below the borderline, the catalyst fragment is better, and above it Wise is better.

Borderline values (XP/hr)
Level	Wise 1	Wise 2	Wise 3	Wise 4
80	597,000	298,500	199,000	149,250
85	736,500	368,250	245,500	184,125
90	918,000	459,000	306,000	229,500
95	1,129,500	564,750	376,500	282,375
98+	1,290,000	645,000	430,000	322,500

Manifested knowledge also requires the necklace and ring slots, which can have other items equipped if Wise is being used. For example, you could also wear Grace of the Elves and Luck of the Dwarves.

Additionally, utilising the Mobile perk with the Dive and Surge abilities is very beneficial for some skills (e.g. Runecrafting via the Abyss).
