Is this going to be like that time you tried to imbue my ring and killed me?

Help me Obi Wa- Khadgar, you're my only hope.
I just hit 110 on my mage alt and when I went to deliver the quest Khadgar was no where to be seen.
I believe this is a known bug and the only way I got it to work was to go to Krasus Landing (Khadgar moved there), do the Broken Shore scenario and then go back and deliver this quest.
Hopefully this helps someone else.

What to do
Description
For the last 10,000 years, the elven city of Suramar has been sealed in an arcane barrier, much like Dalaran once was. That barrier has come down. Since then, waves of magical energy have been emanating from the city like ripples in a pond. It was in these waves that I sensed a pattern. A spell, encrypted among the chaos. I have recreated the spell here. It's not dangerous, but beyond that... I have no idea what it does!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Khadgar's Discovery
Champion! Please come to the Violet Citadel immediately. I have made a discovery that I would like to share with you before the Council of Six.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Trail of Echoes
The Nightborne could prove powerful allies against the Legion. We must aid this Thalyssra if we can. We should be able to find her by tracking her magical echoes, the same way I found her distress call. I can teleport you near the location where she recorded that message.
