Found out the hard way, releasing them doesn't mean killing. Just target a Felbound Spirit, & use your Extra Action Button to cast a 2-3 second green 'release' ray on them. They will aggro on you, just keep casting. They'll become 'friendly', say thanks and walk away, fading as they go.

This quest is Paladins alternative for Restless Spirits that spawn at same time for other classes.
I have done it on 2 characters before just killing spirits, but Paladins have to use special Action Button instead.

Step 2 of 2. Chain order is read from the prerequisite data in the current retail client build, so it reflects what the game requires, not a curated storyline.
