More detail for those like me who need it... Collect a Smooth River Stone from the river, then click on it in your bags or just open your Enchanting prof window. Enchant Runic Power Core will be there under Training. It takes the river stone and 3 Veiled Crystals. Create the power core then kill 12 elementals or skeletons to charge it. (There was a chat log message that I learned how to create a new item, but I totally missed it and so ran around searching for a way to enchant the stone... Sigh...)

head straight to the river - the recipe for runic power core is there. Use it after you kill the elementals.
After the Dragonflight pre-patch with the revamped profession panes, this "quest" enchant ability wasn't displaying in my enchanting profession pane. I was still able to cast it by putting the following into a macro:
/run PickupSpell(284415)
Put the macro somewhere, click it, click the same square again, then right click away the initial macro. You can now use this ability on your action bar to cast the enchant.

Description
We have most of the materials we need, but we require one final item. A heart. Don't worry. I don't mean one of flesh, but of stone; to bind the materials of the body into a single form. Find a smooth stone, and enchant it to hold a life force. It will require some reagents, but I would expect a powerful enchanter such as yourself to have some on hand or know where to find them. Once that's done, it will need to be powered. The souls animating the elementals and undead here should do the trick.

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.
