TheWoWDBWhen you talk to the Arcane Construct nearby as a step on this quest, you see the following textbox:
< The "voice" of the construct seems to emanate from the air around you, ringing in your ears while the hairs on your arms stand up. The construct speaks to you in a language you can't understand, with words that sound like multiple voices talking at once.>
(Player) Um... Al'teth ... la c'tolgar? Or something.In the chatbox, you then see: The arcane Construct surges with uncontrolled arcane energies.
The Arcane Construct wanders forward and attacks all of the nearby Apprentice Illuminators and Apprentice Investigators. It kills them by charring them to the bone with an arcane aoe blast before it itself dies away.

Description
Now we will hack their arcane construct and use it to wreak havoc. Have you done this type of magic before, {name}? No? Hah! That makes my plan all the more delicious. Nearby you should see a formidable arcane construct they've summoned. Thanks to the runestones you gathered, we know how to communicate with it. Talk to the construct and say "Al'teth la c'tolgar." Got that? Repeat it? Close enough. Report back to me and let me know what happens!
