How to cast a spell?
Hi.
I started the game of RTC and my heroes are unable to cast spells! When I click some of the runes nothing happens (some of my heroes ARE wizards). In Chaos strikes back spellcasting works properly. Should I use somehow spellbook I have found first??
Thnak you.

If you play RTC in the "Original Dungeon Master" dungeon as well as the "Chaos strikes Back" dungeon you will be able to cast spells normally.
If you play RTC in the "Return to Chaos - Dungeon Master" Dungeon you will have to pick the spellbook and have it in any inventory slot of any of your characters to be able to select spell runes. You will have to activate each spell rune first by taking the spellbook into a characters action hand and then click a scroll that has spell runes written upon it unto the opened book's contents. The book's contents appear in the food/water/chest-area of a character's inventory while that character is holding it in his action hand.
The intention of the spellbook is to make DM veterans who of course know all spells to play the DM dungeon as if they were playing it for the first time in regard to discovering and using spells.
Maybe you should take the time and read the information about RTC in its readme and on the RTC homepage.
George: For this question new threads with the same content have been opened up here repeatedly. Can you please include some very clear and well visible information screen displayed on starting a new game of RTC-DM that explains the use of the spellbook to new RTC players?

No, it wasn't this way in original DM. That's why you can choose in the startup-menu between "Original DM" and "RTC DM".
If you want original DM spell behaviour, without any spellbook, just choose "Original DM".
If you want the spellcasting restriction of the spellbook, then choose "Return to Chaos".

It has the rune shown on it but it doesn't contain the rune. This may make more sense if you've looked in the editor - it's possible to attribute runes to items, ie make them "contain" the rune so it can be scribed into the spellbook. I suppose it'd be like walking along and finding a potion with some symbol on it that you've never seen before, but then finding a scroll which says "The Ya rune makes a Stamina potion" and thinking "Ahhh so that's what that symbol means!".
Well, something like that anyway...
