TheWoWDBIf you abandon this quest for whatever reason, and later return to pick it up, remember that Magister Umbric is on the platform above the ground.
I took an embarrassingly long time to realise he was above me the whole time, after thinking the quest was bugged and that he wasn't showing up. Don't be like me!

Description
Magisters' Terrace is home to many mysterious artifacts. Among them is a relic once central to our pursuit of magical knowledge. A few years ago, the relic fell into a state of dormancy. After the Dawnwell reignited, this artifact began to stir. Upon returning it to the Lycaneum for study, the relic unleashed chaos upon the library. I believe your unique expertise may be helpful in quelling this chaos.

This is right, he is above the ground, inside the building. Also, if you make a targeting Macro, type in the whole name of Magister Umbric. At least for me, just Umbric did not work.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Magisters' Call
<A floating missive hangs before you, written in a flowing magical script. At first, it appears to be nonsense. As you approach the parchment, the words shift and change, and a message forms.> The Magisters request your presence at Thalassian University.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Omnium Anomalies
Shortly after the Omnium awoke, it began manifesting arcane anomalies around the Lycaneum. We believe these anomalies to be malfunctioning security protocols--the hostile projections they conjure can be quite lethal. If we do not dispatch them quickly, they will continue to manifest.
