J'zargo's Experiment

Walkthrough
While at the College of Winterhold, if the Dragonborn strikes up a conversation with classmate J'zargo, after the events of Under Saarthal, the latter will reveal that he has been hard at work perfecting a powerful scroll, but needs it to be field-tested. J'zargo has no time to spare for this, and asks the Dragonborn to do the testing for him and report back how they worked.

Test J'zargo's Flame Cloak spell on the undead
Should the Dragonborn agree, J'zargo hands over ten J'zargo's Flame Cloak Scrolls, that then need to be equipped and used against e.g. skeletons, three times.

Even though the scrolls do work against the undead, they also explode and heavily set the Dragonborn on fire. This does make the Dragonborn wonder if this is not just an underhanded plot by J'zargo to get rid of a college rival.

Speak to J'zargo
Report back to J'zargo with the results of the tests. He will thank the Dragonborn by offering his services as a follower.
