But here's the thing. If I recall correctly, I destroyed the Rimescore during the Howling in the Dark side-quest so I don't know how Cait even got the grimoire.
Rimescore and Rimebound grimoire are two different cursed artifacts:
Rimescore is the cursed "sentient" ice sword you can find at the knot cave during Howling in the Dark (DrifaQuest), which can be destroyed, left to its own devices in which case it remains in the hands of its latest user, Asgeir, something that you can also do by giving it back to him before the boss fight if you stole it, given to Cait to add frost damage to some of her sets and spellpower, armor and ward to all of them, given to Drifa to turn her from a White Mage to a Black Mage and push her further into her corruption path, or kept by the player in one of three diferent forms, at the cost of a massive increase in corruption
Rimebound Grimoire is the cursed "frozen over" book you can purchase from Senja at Oxana's Manor after asking her for "special merch" for the first time, and, unlike Rimescore, it's classified as a key item, meaning the player can't use them by themselves. Once presented to Cait, while interacting with her, she'll give you some insight as to what it is, and you can then either convince her to study it, which unlocks the Frostheart set after one day, and also gives the player the Celestial Frost and Rime Veil powers, alongside some corruption, or you can tell her to play it safe and don't look into it, which leads her to give the book to Barney, who gives 3000 EC to the player and the Ring of Warmth to Cait, adding some spellpower and frost & fire resistance to all of her sets
