If the spell "Scripture of Elune" is uncastable at the moment you are asked to cast it, simply use the Vial of Moon Water again until the scripture becomes usable. Do this a few times and the quest completes!

So spam vial and cast scripture whenever available. I hope this helps someone! :)

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Shrouding StonesShadowmoon Valley · Level 10-40

    Long ago, the shaman of the Shadowmoon clan erected three stones in the woods. There, they performed their sacred rituals, blessing the beasts and the trees. Now, someone has placed a fel magic upon those stones. This corruption is what shrouds the village of Gul'var.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Soul Shards of SummoningShadowmoon Valley · Level 10-40

    It's good to know what Teron'gor and Cho'gall are up to. It's more important that we stop Gul'dan. Some of his disciples can summon minor demons. To do this, these lesser warlocks must use a soul shard.
