Light Rune - How Turn Off the Light?
   

I am just starting to look at the use of magic in G1 and have what I thought was a simple question. First, as has been said many times already, the manual is essentially worthless for even the most basic of things. Secondly, after several hours of searching on several different forums I have been unable to find an answer for my question. So here goes.

Facts: I just obtained a "Light Rune" and just became Level 1 Circle of Magic. This is my first use of runes.

I equiped the "Light Rune" and I first get the small glowing light in front of me. I then activate the rune and I get the big illuminating light over my head. It's works very well and I can handle my weapons and see in the dark at the same time. So my question is:

HOW DO I TURN OUT THE LIGHT?

I noticed that if I SAVE my game and then RELOAD it, the light is now turned off. Even though this accomplishes what I wanted (i.e. turn out the light), this can't possibly be the normal method to turn out the light. Although I haven't tested it, I am assuming that the light would also go out when my mana is drained. Of course, this is just as ludicrous as saving and reloading to turn out the light. I also notice that I could drop my Light Rune on the ground and run far away without the rune in my possession and the light is still burning brightly above my head, which makes no sense to me. This question is important since I'm assuming there may be other Runes which I will need to turn on and turn off.

So what is the normal easy way to turn out the light from the Light Rune? What controls am I forgetting to use? I know it's something probably simple, but I give up?

Thanks

Good question.
I think the spell wears out after a certain time.

Yes it does wear off after a certain amount of time, but I think it depends on the amount of mana you have.
