TheWoWDBI was incredibly disappointed that the follow-up to this quest wasn't called something like "Paved with ghoul intentions".

This has to be bugged... It just wont give me any more abilities with Illidan at all.
This appears to be bugged. I head down, fight with Xalian, get the snot knocked out of me, run back, recharge, do it again. The Arcane Siphon does NOT work. How do you win this scenario?

Enchanted Nightborne Coin, 20g 22s, 6,150 XPDescription
An early step to understanding how magic works is to understand and study materials made using that magic. That was how I made my breakthrough on warlock soul crystals, after all. The wyrmtongue minions in this pit hammer plates into their structures for support and maintenance. Those will be a good starting point. Fetch me some, my faithful assistant!
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.
- Discovery Requires Experimentation
I can sense residues of magic all over you. You will be useful. I must study how the demon bodies can handle the fel energies in such large quantities. I have plenty of flesh to sample, but there must be something...
After 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.
