I accept the quest.
Click on the quill.
Am transported to the first rune BUT Instead of my action bars being replaced with vehicle action bar and me being a pen, I remain my toon avatar and I'm stuck just standing there till I abandon the quest.

Bug? Am I doing some wrong? I've looked at pictures and YouTube and I should become a pen to trace out the runes.

If you're confused by this quest, you are the very small enchanted pen. I suggest zooming way in so you can see up very close. The tip of the pen is not exactly where it looks like it is, so when you are tracing the circles you might need to rotate your camera to look straight down. Also, I found that by using the asdf keys and making very small movements and adjustments I could stay on the circle outline with pretty decent accuracy. If you use your mouse it moves too fast and you may tend to stray off the outline.

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.
