Although probably a momentary bug, the quest wont complete if you banish him while his health is at 1. Hit him a few with your Throw or Wand until the message that he is weakened appears and then banish him.

What to do
Description
Archduke Calcinder squirms in the back of this very cavern. We are close to killing him... but that is not what we are going to do. Slaying Calcinder here means nothing. His acolytes can easily revive him. Instead, we are going to banish him. I asked you to gather a precious stone from the Twilight's Hammer earlier. You will now use it against Calcinder. Engage him, weaken him, then use this device on him. He will be banished from this realm. Good luck, brave {name}.
