You want a seal on the floor charged with BOTH beams.

1. Pick a seal to focus on
2. If the blue beam nearest you is NOT pointing at the seal you want, click it
3. If it still isn't focused at the spot you want, run round to the other blue beam and click it, success!

Do the same method for the pink to get both beams pointed at one floor seal spot.

Click the seal. Kill the trash. You win!

Each seal can be activated separately when it has two beams on them at once.

One beam from a high pillar, one beam from a low pillar. While solving this puzzle, also keep in mind that each pillar only has two positions it may be in.

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.

    I do not know what Theryn found, but I know where he found it. Moonshade Sanctum, to the west. Beyond the Temple of Fal'adora. Whatever power altered Theryn's arcane essence... Whatever power allowed Kel'danath to create a spell to soothe the withered... Its source rests there.
