Hello,
I have a bit of a problem in Arx Fatalis... Last week I received the scandinavian reviewers copy of the game from JoWood Nordic (for review of course), and yesterday I started playing the game, creating a mage-like character (high mental skills, observation and so).
The thing is, I can't cast any of my spells, and since I have no manual for the game, and there was nothing on the CD, I am pretty much lost! To make matters worse, JoWooD has closed down the Nordic office as of last wednesday, and I have had no reply to the mail I sent to another JoWooD region (germany).
Anyway, what I would really like is a step-by-step guide to casting spells. I can weave the symbols alright, but there doesn't seem to be any effect once I let go of the mouse button.
I don't know how to authenticate that I am not some pirate-cracker seeking help, but my website is www.rollespilcentralen.dk, and perhaps some of you know me already under my real name Søren or as "Paragon of Virtue". That's the only "evidence" I have I am afraid.
So, if someone can help me out, I can get further in this interesting game, because God knows what is going to happen to JoWooD and when I will get a reply from them in their current state. |

One time I started; I skipped over the magic tutorial in game at the start, when you are in the first rat dungeon and getting your first two runes to make spell "ignite" the torches.
Do not skip over this! For some reason I did skip it and I could not cast a spell, even though I held down the CNTRL key while wave the runes -which do light up to let you know it is correct and nothing happen when released.
I had to start over and then it worked. Make sure you follow the in-game tutorial even if it seems redundant or you make catch this rather rare state of nothiness.
Helfen: German verbs and conjugations are tough! Need a German Verb dictionary. I learn alot though.

I DID play through the tutorial... I may have to start over then.
When I draw spells, their icons appear, and almost "line up" in the top of the screen. It is supposed to activate the spell once I release the button right?
Thanks anyway! |

Yeah. If you click on the spell in your book it appears on the top right. After that, you can draw easier. When you get them though they should light up and the name of it should be heard. When you get all 3 it should work. If you are trying the ignite spell there might just not be anything to ignite.

I'm just starting the tutorial and am trying the second spell. The pentagram makes a large line so making the corners is tough but seems interesting to try.And hotspots are vague at best. I'll replay the tutorial to get it better if I don't give up for today, my spell casting limit seems around an hour! |
