Travel to Echo Cave north of the Imperial City and west of Bruma. Kill the necromancer named Bolor Savel at the entrance and loot the Echo Cave Key from his corpse to enter the cave.

The Echo Cave has a linear map layout, so use the compass and follow the direction of the waypoint. Defeat the necromancers and undead at each room and reach the third zone of the cave, the Necromancer's Chamber.

Find Mannimarco in the middle island that has fire cauldrons. Bone railings will pop up and surround the area as you approach him. Mannimarco will cast a paralyzing spell on you before entering a conversation.
Regardless of which dialogue option to choose ("I'll never help you!" or "I'll serve you if you spare me"), he becomes hostile and attacks at the end of the conversation. Kill him and the undead enemies that he summons to progress the quest.

Return to Arcane University and speak with Raminus Polus to complete the quest.
You will get promoted as Arch-Mage upon completion of this quest. In addition, you will also receive the Staff of Worms.
