The tip is a real point, not a small flat cap, which is what a spire, a finial, a spike or a crystal needs. Tapering a cylinder instead leaves a visible stump.

Set Radial Segments to four and it is a pyramid. Three gives a triangular spike, six a hex spire. It is the same node throughout, so there is no separate pyramid to go looking for.

Inputs

SocketTypeWiring

These settings are also output sockets, so another part can read the number instead of repeating it: radius, height.
