This puzzle was the first Storm Legion puzzle I finished, so I thought I would start with this one.
I actually found the puzzle on the day Storm Legion was released when I was sneaking around the new zones, and I was confused by the fact that I couldnt click on anything. This led me to my discovery that all the new puzzles had to be unlocked with artifact sets and unique currencies. I was so excited about collecing new things! I thought the added bits to unlock the puzzles was a very creative idea by Trion.
ANYWAY, on to the puzzle...
To unlock the puzzle you must first:
1) Complete the 12 piece Circuit Diagrams artifact set and turn it in to receive "A Collection of Pages from Circuit Diagrams"
2) Collect 9 bars of hair-covered soap as currency (*Note: this is a whole venture in itself. The bars of soap can be collected after completing a short series of quests in the Arcanum Conservatory in Steppes of Infinity. You can swim underwater to the room where you begin the quest series around 15446,7188. By entering this area you will also receive the achievement "Deep Learning". After completing the short series of quests, the room you first entered will be filled with troll like creatures who drop their soap, which you can then pick up. The soap is hard to see because it doesn't sparkle, but the trolls emote when they drop it. Be sure to pick it up quick because it dissolves!)
3) Trade in the "Collection of Pages from Circuit Diagrams" and the 9 bars of hair-covered soap to the Mistress of Puzzles located just underwater in the Tempest Bay canal area (12755,11706) to receive the book "Circuit Diagrams"
4) Collect the book
The puzzle in Ardent Domain will now be unlocked. It is located at 5878,10718 at the back of the Cassana Estate.
*******WARNING: SPOILER ALERT*******
When you approach the newly unlocked puzzle it will look like so:
If you read the Circuit Diagrams book, it says "All five circuits must be connected but don't cross the streams." This lets you know that to solve the puzzle, you must connect the like colored orbs without crossing their paths.
To do this, you click on an orb, and the orbs directly around it will light up and become clickable as well. The next orb you click on indicates the direction your circuit will be traveling.
I drew the puzzle on a piece of paper to test for solutions before beginning, but since I am posting the solution picture below, you won't have to do that! If you do decide to try it out a few times, you can hit the shiny lever at any time to reset the puzzle to the beginning.
Solution:
After you complete the puzzle, you can click ont he now lit up chest and receive your bag of epic reward loot and the achievement "Short Circuit."
In addition to your epic loot from the bag, you will receive "Electrostatic Transmogrifier" which is a re-usable item that transforms you into one of several colored glowing balls, each with their own properties. It is random each time. The red orb moves quickly, the blue orb allows you to breathe underwater, etc. It is a cute little collectible that is also fun because you can be transformed when fighting like you can with the corgi collar from the Summerfest Event (although with this, you transform back to your normal form if you take combat damage).
Enjoy!

P.S. - While you are at the Cassana Estate, you might want to look around for some creepy little dolls called m'doidoi. They are hidden on the roof tops around the estate, and they are the currency for the next puzzle I will be posting about shortly, "Bogling Star Signs"
