He decided instead to turn his focus into praying to the God of Worms for the knowledge, and he was rewarded with knowledge of the exact preparations and rituals needed during a dream in which Mannimarco spoke to him.

It was not a simple matter of overlooking a small detail that he only realized later, it was in fact an entire process that he had never heard of before, and was never written down or recorded. It would be like Albert Einstein coming into your dream and teaching you how to build a time machine, and actually being 100% correct. Than it was probably the moon that gave it to him. So the moon has the power to disrupt the influence of Arkay, communicate secret knowledge to the devote, and retains enough memory to know who its followers are and how it needs to appear before them in a manner that they would actually believe to be the real God of Worms.

And somehow it is capable of doing all of this despite being nothing more than a corpse of a God that no longer exists in time? As I said, "It's still kind of a god"

The Necromancer Moon is basically an Oblivion Realm that has been torn from its master. It's still there, but Mannimarco has no control over it.
