If you use the item on the corpse of a dead ghost and while channeling select a live one, you kill the live one and cleanse it soul. Then you can cleanse the dead one you were initially targeting and get two cleanses for one kill!
Probably a bug.
This... good info, was getting quite aggravating trying to figure this out. Some of the quests this expansion aren't worded well. Still an awesome expansion though.

Description
I wasn't able to scout inside the village yet, however, there are more dangerous experiments going on to the south. They were befouling the unquiet spirits in the marshlands with more fel magic! I will rework this fel totem to draw out the fel energies they infused in those spirits. Please, cure what spirits you can, perhaps it will even give them some peace. If you want, I can even send you there!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Burning Birds
The Feltotem are experimenting on these falcosaurs! They didn't get the results that they wanted and have carelessly left their experiments lying around to further poison the animals. We should collect their leftover totems to prevent further corruption and to find out what they were doing.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Village of the Corruptors
The Feltotem continue to create these totems for further "experiments". Let us deal with these infusers in the traditional manner. Their deaths will right a great wrong and provide clues as to their ultimate goal.

The Fel Worm Menace has 11 steps, from Destruction: Rumblings Near Feltotem to A Gift From the Six.
