Legion is absolutely killing it with these unique quests. Blizz clearly heard some people complaining about boring, repetitive fetch quests and are stepping up their game.
This was so cool.

What to do
Description
What's this? A new, confused student, desperately trying to win the favor of the headmistress, wandering the halls without anything to do? Perfect! I need help with my research. I'm writing a paper on combat. Grab me some books from the shelf over there.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Wanding 101
We'll start with some wand work. You have your wand with you? Good. I've set up a number of targets around the hall. Use your wand to hit as many as you can. And no point-blank shots! That's cheating.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Pop Quiz: Advanced Rune Drawing
Still aching to get into the headmistress' study, eh? I suppose I can let you in... as long as you prove that you've been studying. Proper rune formation is essential when it comes to spellcasting. If you can draw a rune, you can cast a spell. I will provide outlines for you.
