What to do
Description
The nature of the Dawnwell has sparked a question among the minds of Magisters' Terrace: If magic can corrupt and suffuse other magics, how will the Dawnwell affect the ley lines branching out from it? With inquiry, comes experiment. The Ritual Sites in Quel'Thalas use the ley lines to fuel their magic. Disrupt these sites and retrieve samples of the arcana you find.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Seeking Knowledge Week 1 of 5: The Omnium Folio
Those who sought to learn from the Omnium had to contribute to it. While most Magisters studied within the Terrace, a select few were appointed as "Seekers of Wisdom." Seekers would search for new and foreign magic to contribute to the Omnium's vast index for study. Given your...

- Seeking Knowledge Week 3 of 5: Ley Line Assaults
Unfortunately, most of the measurable samples were expunged by the Ritual Site's excessive energy. If we are to accurately measure the various magics seeping into the ley lines, we'll need samples from a broader, less concentrated source.
