Quick Walkthrough
# Bring fire, frost and storm infusions to Sara Benele.
# Use the focus crystals.
# Enter the portal to Mage's Staff.
# Approach the core.
# Protect Sara Benele.
# Return to Spellscar.
# Talk to Sara Benele. 

Detailed Walkthrough
When you discover Spellscar for the first time, Sara Benele runs up to you. Her sister, Gabrielle, told her you aren't afraid of danger. Sara wants you to stop the large staff, which the locals call the Mage's Staff, from emitting magical energy. If you don't, it will explode. The staff fell from the sky just before the constellations vanished, and it is drawing every "magic-addicted sorcerer and atronach in the region" to it. In order to stop it, you will need to find a way into its core. This will require a large amount of magical energy. You need to bring three elemental infusions to Sara. Kill the fiends and quickly harvest the infusions (flame, ice and storm).
Collect Infusions
To collect an infusion, you need to kill enemies near the large black shards, then activate the shard. The shards have different colors to reflect the different element you receive from activating it. The flame infusions are south of Spellscar, the storm infusions are north and slightly east, and the ice infusions are to the west. Once you have activated all three infusions, head to the quest marker near the Spellscar icon on the map. Sara Benele will only spawn here when you have all three infusions.

You will see a focus crystal for each of the three infusions. You will have to activate each one, followed by the staff infusion. Sara uses a spell on the staff, opening a portal to its core.
Inside the Mage's Staff
You need to make your way to the core and stop it from overloading. However, some atronachs and spellfiends have gotten inside the staff. Defeat them, and head toward the core.

Once you get close enough, Sara will start to disable the core. You need to "protect" her as she does this, so defeat Magdra Tigun, a flame atronach, at the first level; Nomeg Nulu, a frost atronach; and Zymel Ozata, a storm atronach, at the final level.  It is necessary to defeat all three of these bosses in sequence without dying to complete the quest.  If you are defeated while fighting Nomeg Nulu or Zymel Ozata, you will have to start over again at the fight with Magdra Tigun.

Take the portal back to Spellscar, and talk to Sara.

Notes
It is recommended that this quest be done with a group of two to four, though it can be done solo with some difficulty. Prior to Update 12, a group of four was required; to gain entry to the Mage's Staff, three players had to carry an infusion while the fourth had to channel the Staff.

A few corpses and a backpack are not too far from the door, and a Torn Page lies near an abandoned sword.

Talirinde is slumped against a crate in front of the bridge. She warns you of the citadel's war horn before falling unconscious.

:''"Oh, look at me! I'm a terrible mess! You really must excuse my dreadful appearance. I haven't been feeling very well lately. By the way, you haven't seen Nostrum Breva, have you? She promised to bring me more of the Maulborn curative." 
:I'm afraid not. We're looking for Dethisam. Have you seen him?
:"Dethisam? The town consul? Such a nice, young man! Why, I do recall that he came to see me yesterday. He said he had other townsfolk to check on, but that he would bring me a curative as soon as he could." 
:What do you know about this Maulborn curative?
:"The curative? Remarkable stuff! Tastes awful but wipes the plague right out of your system. One of those delightful Maulborn gave me one a few days ago. Nostrum Breva, she called herself. But I think I need another dosage." 

Asking for the opportunity for some questions will yield her polite answer.
:Can I ask you something else?
:"I may be ill and bedraggled, but I still have my manners. What would you like to know?" 
:When did the plague first appear in Serk?
::"Oh, I couldn't say for sure. Perhaps the alchemist Nilyne would know. I can tell you that I started feeling ill a few days ago, after I drank the Maulborn curative. She said that would happen. You have to get ill to get better, the Maulborn said." 
:Tell me more about the Maulborn.
::"Such a polite young woman, that Nostrum Breva. Claimed they were here to provide the help the Tribunal refused to give. They have a curative for the plague, you know. Vile stuff. But the best medicine always tastes terrible, my mother always said."

:"You don't know the half of it. It's the damn Llodos plague. People are scared. Many have already fled Narsis to avoid getting sick. Of course, that's not what the remaining villagers believe."
:What do the villagers think?
:"They think their families were stolen in the middle of the night. I've heard everything from a plot by the House leaders to Elf-eating banekin roaming the countryside. The kinhouse is looking into it."
:I have some experience with this kind of thing. Can I talk to someone at the kinhouse?
:"Speak to whoever you want. The kinhouse is more concerned with the coming plague than searching for people who probably just ran away. But I'm sure a councilor will hear you out."
:What do you think about all this?
:"I'm not paid to think about this. That's a luxury for someone of higher rank than me. I'll admit something seems off-kilter. If only the House councilors would see it that way."

's substructure includes many interconnected cisterns, a honeycomb of pocketed caches which is connected to every potable well within the city.

Many of them leak into each other as a consequence of age and shoddy craftsmanship, but only one distributes water on a grander scale! This cistern is referred to as the master source, as it allows flow from an underground river directly into every smaller cistern in the city.

- To open the distribution channels you must first open both sluice gates, then turn the winch to start the external water flow. 

- To clear the cistern before distribution of any residual water, close both sluice gates and then turn the winch. This will flush all water from the system in a matter of days!

At the time, I thought him a madman, but he recently returned in the night and told me of his experience.

Today one of our number,  , went into the wilderness and did not return. Ordinarily, we would not be concerned—the   have lived in   a long time. We are not unfamiliar with the region's dangers.

But Ibrula has always been unusual—lately more so. Some of the others heard her muttering something under her breath. Her latest delusion seems to be that the world is about to be attacked by some hitherto unknown force.

We told her that the atronachs summoned by   of   have the   well in hand and the   has no hold in Craglorn, but she was not consoled by this.

In spite of her eccentricities, or perhaps because of them, we are all very worried about Ibrula. We have decided to wait until morning and then send a party to try to find her.

—

We have come across a small house, surrounded by all manner of magical wards. Torn pieces of a book indicate that Ibrula was here at some point, and her scrawl marks a sign at the entrance to the place, warning us away. Did she fall victim to these traps? Or did she create them? And if so, to what end? To keep us out? Or to keep something else in?

Either way, it's apparent that Ibrula's delusion has grown worse than we'd imagined.

—

After a few days (I've lost count, and it grows harder to concentrate the longer we're here) of trying to pass through the traps, discord has seized our search party. We are besieged by nightmares in the dark, and an incessant whispering by day. 

A voice in my head torments me with the promise of knowledge immeasurable. I suspect a Daedric presence in this place.

My worst suspicions are now confirmed.   have appeared, called to this place by an unknown voice, and cutting off our retreat. The twins   and   are now dead, tricked into murdering each other by whatever madness rules this place.

As for me, I am hopelessly lost. I believe I will die before I find Ibrula or escape this place.

Would that we had heeded Ibrula's warning and stayed far away.
