This is a pretty nasty quest. You have the dreaded progress bar AND you have to use an item on the corpses (which I'm always forgetting).
Quest
Primal Power
A World of Warcraft quest in The Azure Span. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
The corpses you need to collect energy from don't stay for long, maybe a minute or so. If you're prone to forgetting to use the quest item, I'd probably use it before looting (they corpses will remain after use).
The Primalist Worshippers only give 3% toward completion, whereas the Primal Elementals give 9% each, so ignore the worshippers and focus on the Elementals...

What to do
Description
I'm afraid it's becoming harder to maintain my mirror images. The Primalists are focusing their efforts to tearing me out from the sky. Not to worry... I have a plan. I need you to take the orb you recovered and gather elemental magic from slain Primalists. We'll need that elemental power up ahead to divert their forces away from me.
