Don't. Ever. Die.

I had 95 corruption levels on my alt. (I got corrupted items through world quests before going all in to the 8.3 quests.) When I started the fight with the mantid started, I created 2 Eyes of Corruption and one a Thing From Beyond (OMG MY WORST LUCK EVER) at the beginning which concluded an instant death.

After that, I realized I can't re-engage the fight so I had to abandon and retake the quest. But doing that removed me from the open-world instance thing and vanished Magni so I had to return to the Chamber of Heart. But I used my hearthstone to return here a while ago (from the Uldum assault) so I had to fly all the way back. This was the most ridiculous event occurred to me in modern wow times ever.

You need to meet Magni outside of Mogu'shan Terrace, NOT the Seat of Knowledge atop Mogu'shan Palace, which is nearest the Mage portal to the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. If you arrive inside of the overhead tower (Seat of Knowledge) inside Mogu'shan Palace where the Lorewalkers are, you'll find a version of Magni that you cannot interact with. Your intended destination is Mogu'shan Terrace south of Zouchin Village, near the Mogu'shan Vaults meeting stone.
