TheWoWDBI couldn't see the Tome. It's on the table between two Demon Tomes, but I had to realm-hop for it to show up.

Note for ranged: When you take the tome, Grand Summoner Abraxeton will appear. Straightforward mob with a pet, very easy kill. However, he will evade bug if you try to kill him away from the table at all. I had to hug the table or stand on it in order to hit him on my hunter.

Enchanted Nightborne Coin, 20g 22s, 6,150 XPDescription
I have made a great discovery, {name}. There is a powerful warlock in the Soul Engine, in possession of a powerful tome. It contains forbidden secrets to summoning the most powerful of demons. Even the Legion is afraid to call on these fel lords, but now I possess knowledge beyond theirs. Fetch me the tome and I will never want for magic again.

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.
- One Small Step for Magic
It is time to embrace the future. I have mastered every magic known to our kind. I will master this one. By applying the principles of arcane magic it is fairly trivial to control the primitive fel energies within the material you have given me. I need to move to live prey next.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fel Bent for Leather
Ah, my faithful assistant. I have just the task for you. As you have seen, fel power permeates living tissue and can easily be coaxed out. Also, these damned bats are driving me to my wits' end. There is an opportunity to kill two bats with one blade, it seems. Your blade. Take this crystal.
