Description
The mana of Suramar is carefully cultivated, regulated, and controlled. It does not just randomly "stop." Someone or something must be interfering with it. As you investigate the mana drain, I want you to occasionally dispel illusions in the area. Focus on those gathered here. I suspect not everyone is what they appear to be.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Drained Mana
I have received no word from High Arcanist Thalyssra for days! We have had many mana problems lately, so there is a chance her message spells were simply not able to be received.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Into the Darkway
Ulen's imposter may have escaped, but I suspect I know what the cult has been doing. The Twilight's Blade must be redirecting Suramar's mana flow. Without it being sent to the correct places, our awareness dulls, our golems wilt, and our entire society risks a mana withdrawal.
