A Mage’s Staff Walkthrough
Speak with Zahrasha or Eletta

Travel east of the Imperial City to Wellspring Cave. Inside, eliminate the necromancer then inspect Zahrasha’s corpse.

Investigate What Happened
Afterwards, loot her corpse to receive the Wellspring Cave Key. Once you have the key, head deeper into the cave until you spot a table.

To the left of it, you’ll find a bridge across some water. Take it then follow the path to the right to reach the door to the Wellspring Cave.
When you arrive outside Noveni Othran will approach and threaten you. Take her and her fellow necromancers out! Be sure to interact with the corpse of Eletta and grab the Unfinished Staff from the stone chest.

Return to Raminus
With everything investigated, return to Raminus to check in.
Speak with Delmar

Exit the lobby then head to Chironasium on the southwestern side of the Arcane University. Inside, speak with Delmar about the “Mage’s Staff”.
After choosing the details, wait 24 hours then return to Delmar, and he’ll tell you that your staff is ready. Open the cupboard on the first floor and retrieve your custom staff! The quest will then complete!
