If you look at the channel animation and the animation of the orb after completion you can see faint traces of void magic! I hope the surviving citizens don't start an investigation later on...

Description
Magni's vision foretells that Khaz Algar may be enduring some... turbulent times. And so it is best to ensure that Dalaran is ready for the worst. Here, take this wand. It's been attuned with Dalaran's defense magics. Just wave it near strategic parts of the city to strengthen our magical defenses.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

- Slept Like a Rock
Champion, Da's awake. Please return to Dalaran.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Citizens of Dalaran
Our citizens must be prepared for Dalaran's departure. Can you ask around the city and see if anyone requires aid? I'd also like for you to speak with Brann and Archmage Drenden. They both had concerns that would be best to address before we depart for Khaz Algar.
