The components have been gathered and the "Arcane Bunker Buster" is assembled. Hopefully, this should pack enough punch to take out the barrier.
There's only one way to find out...

Easiest way to do it (Without leap/blink/glider etc.)
Step 1: Hug the right wall, jump over the first beam.
Step 2: Turn your back to your quest location
Step 3: Moonwalk your way to the grimoire
If you are a hunter, jump the first barrier (don't land on a glowing circle) turn your back to the Grimoire and hit "disengage". You'll easily clear the barriers.
Confirmed that hunter disengage works great for this. Just stand on the rock and you get right in. For anyone who doesn't know where the cave is, it's Swamplight Cave at 42; 73 near the shore.
