You found it! But it is sealed away tight.

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!
What I wasn't getting that I needed do AFTER I got 2 beams on a seal was that I needed to CLICK THE SEAL. Thanks!
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.

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.
