TheWoWDBWhat a sad end to well meaning research. After you turn the journal in to him he chucks it off the balcony and burns it with a flaming arrow. I suppose that's for the best.

You should do this quest while you do "Deactivating the Spire" cuz both are on the same location :D
It's a journal you can find on a chair :P
Go at (69,52) and use the Orb of Translocation.
The book is on a chair on the 2nd floor.

Description
You have discovered what appears to be an investigative journal left behind by Magister Duskwither. A brief scan of its contents reveal some shocking attempts at filtering corrupted magical flows, which might explain what has happened here at Duskwither Spire. The magister is sure to want this brought back to him.
