The ball has three stages of growing.
In the first stage the only thing you can pick up are the smallest purple bugs, the others will bounce you (including off cliffs). Stay close to Senegos hoovering them up until you get to stage 2.
In the second stage you'll start wanting to go up as many stairs as you can find, hoovering bugs along the way.
When you both get to the top and have hit the third stage, there will be a blue glowing sigil on the ground in front of a building entrance near 66, 12. When the glowing sigil appears on the ground you'll also get a new button on the vehicle bar. At the moment your ball is over the glowing blue patch you need to also hit the new button (which for me was mapped to hotkey 1).
You get launched into the air (I didn't appreciate that, I have a vestibular disorder) and then get credit.
this quest was hilarious af, especially seeing all the big insects rolled up in the ball

Description
I remember having so much fun rolling these creatures up with my spells. Unfortunately, I fear these old bones will not let me move as quickly as I once did. I would love for you to give it a shot. Let me live vicariously through you! The more creatures you roll up, the bigger the ball becomes. The bigger the ball, the bigger the creature you can roll out. Speak to me and I shall give you my special arcane ball to roll up the creatures around here.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- On the Trail Again
Ah... the Veiled Ossuary. I was given the task to be a sort of gravekeeper, which included keeping wildlife away from the area. I had a rather fun spell split up within several tomes kept within this place to deal with such pests. The other blue dragons did not approve of my...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lest We Forget
We will be joined shortly by Kalecgos and Alexstrasza. Before then, I have a request. There was a tradition to have gravestones set before your death. It allowed you to choose where you would rest when you passed.
