ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hello, I just started ToME and unlocked the archmage class. Before you venture, you get a quest from the mage.
I am baffled with how to stabilize 3 wormholes.
My process so far is -> Teleport to largest island, cast spell, go into wormhole.
I do the process again.
However, on the third level, I am unable to find the wormhole, but instead find a boss that is level 10. Did i miss a wormhole somewhere?

Have you tried killing the boss? I've not played the archmage but that'd be my guess.

There's no wormhole on the third level; you have to Rod of Recall or Teleport: Angolwen to get out.

The wormhole is the boss.

Just kill it.

Wow I thought I couldn't do it since the boss was level 10 and I was level one, but after a painful amounts of tries, I realized those small dots could be dodged. Starting the game at level 5 now muahaha
