While holding the ctrl key, hold the mouse button and draw each rune on the screen (you'll see the spell as you draw it - make sure you draw it in the correct "direction"). When a rune is drawn correctly you will hear the name of the rune spoken ("mega" or "yok" etc) and the rune icon at the top will glow. If this doesn't happen your drawing wasn't recognised - draw it again. When all the runes have been successfully drawn, let go of crtl.

Hold shift + ctrl to store a spell in a spell slot (this is a slight variation from the manual but I find it easier than pressing shift at the end before releasing ctrl).

I'm not quite sure I understand. If you open the spell book and click on the individual runes you will get a demonstration of how each rune is drawn (Note the thicker part of the line in the starting point).

Are you saying you can't draw anything at all or just that you're having trouble drawing them correctly?

If it's the first you might want to try left ctrl and/or check your keyboard mapping in the options to check which key "magic mode" is mapped to.

Just cast and memorize another one... they all move to the left...eventually the one you want to forget is gone
