I can't for the time being to use only books from there? Hmm... any one book out. I had already used one book. It seems it was a book which increases one skill to "1". The rest lie unused...
In general I have a lot of questions...
But first I would like to clarify this. I have three power gems but I can't get anywhere the fourth power gem. In Octaedron I got the essence of death.
Yes, I finally thought of how to get there! 
So I have three power gems and I can't remove the essence of death from the beacon. I need to change it on the four power gems too? I climbed to the top of the Mountain of Eight and there it rings at the beacon...
I don't understand exactly what elements need to awaken... Well, to when placing the essences in the appropriate beacons there was an inscription "... awake!" Currently this status I have only for the element of earth.
A four power gems would like to exchange for the essence of water which I also will come in handy for some of the case as I understand it...

Incidentally, there was a problem in Octaedron... Because of that I had to pereprohodit it from the outset from the entrance to the southern part. The problem is this.
I seem to have realized that the stone heads allude to the altars on both sides, but not quite sure how to put four statues of skeletons on eight altars! At first I even tried to spread out on the altars of clay tablets corresponding elements. Then, when it is not a ride, I started making clay tablets and replace them with skeleton figurines on the altars of the right, the cold side. Everything worked perfectly, opened all doors on the right and disabled forcefield from the right chest.
But then the nightmare began. I took the skeleton figurines on the right side of the cold, instead of them left on the altars of the skull. I have a lot of skulls... Then began to place statues on the left side of the fire. In general, omitting all details, one door didn't want to open. Accordingly, there appeared to protect the left chest and it was impossible to get the essence. Also do not open a one fire curtain on the left side...
I think, the problem occurs if I put on the altars of some useless garbage and then replace it with the desired figure of a skeleton or skull...
Well...
First' I have some difficulties to understand your sentences, could you made them more simple? Second, you do so many tries!
What I can says: essences are different, their roles are different, their associations are different. So things to do are different. Death is associated with Life, and you have seen that the only thing to do with essence of life was to move it from underground to the beacon above. It's easy to understand that place of essence of death is in his temple, so you can't move it.
For the different altars to unlock the doors, skulls and skeleton figurines are the only objects you have to put on them. If you try others, some bad things happens: fire or cold waves, doors staying locked, etc...
Last thing: You can find more power gems than necessary, so it's more easy to unlock some situations ( like Water temple in Underwaste).
If you have well read some texts, first of them "The power of the Runes", you can follow the plan suggested:
1. Awake the runes associated and their mediator (by example, Water/Air/Fire)
2. Activate the essence of Balance
3. When all the Runes are awake, except Spirit, go to the Mountain of the Eight and see what you can do there.
