Mages Guild quests are actually odd. It starts off in an epic way, especially the ones which Chorrol mages guild give. However ends such lame. Let us see throigh it how it starts and how it ends. First of all, you are sent to some mountain shrine in order to return a book with intense value. Well you do so, and you are actually able to deliver it to someone else outside the mages guild in Chorrol. You may or may not do this. After you join the mages guild. The first quests are all about sending you on errands. I do not understand why it always has to be errand quests. Why it is the mages who should mess with parasites of a place? We bring evil wizards to justice, and make the magical rules apply in all of tamriel, we should not be messing with other people s errands. Whatever, we sooner or later start dealing with Necromancy users.
In Tamriel,

after the emergance of this new so called Archmage, necromancy is banned from all the Tamriel provinces. And its usage considered a crime. Both its usage and its practise in fact. You are guilty even if you try reading a book of necromancy. What kind of stupid mind blocking is this. Whatsoever, the whole mages guild campaign is based on fighting the members of secret necromancy guilds. Who tend to kill the mages guild members systemically or randomly. Well, as i said, we start with stupid errand quests at start. Then we catch signs of necromancy being applied around. Then we start gathering clues about it. When we finally find a great host of necromancers and eradicate all of them, destroy them utterly with our fury. We are at last, only after to gain all the references from all the mages guilds around Tamriel, found to be worthy of entering the Arcane University. We do intense load of errand quests in order to persuade the mages guild heads to vouch for us. We gather rings from damn wells, we remove a mages guild head from the guild, we find a lost necklace for another one. You name it, this is countless. So when we finally get in the arcane university, doing everything necessary with all our rush of excitement. We find nothing. Well just a circle with a tower in it. Everyone seems to be walking around. I didn t even get where do they give or take lessons. However, it is now that you start getting ranks in the guild. You receive quests from the assistants of headmaster of arcane university. You get few ranks, like adept, magician and such. You are gifted in some items, robes, staves etc. Then you start getting quests from the archmage himself. When the thing is close to end. We start hearing about some dude called Mannimarco. Well, of course our guildmaster is so scared off that he cannot dare to fight he guy his own, so he commits suicide and sends us instead. We go kill him and become the new archmage. Therefore the questline ends here.
