Before the Turn Starts

When you're ready, press START on the cast plinth. The spell book will switch to that spell's pages and the countdown begins.

The Machines Three

Verbal -  The book will give you the pronunciation of the Magic Words. On the verbal machine, select the words that you heard..

Somatic -  The book shows the finished arm movement rune. Replicate that rune on the machine.

Material - The book describes the material. On the material machine, Leave the lever up if the adjective is true, and down if it is false.

Casting

Walk to the cast plinth and press it when all three machines match the book. 

Wrong cast? fix your work and try again until the timer hits zero.

Between Spells

Take your time (but not too much). Puzzles stay as you left them until you press NEXT SPELL. This book returns to the manual until the next round begins.
