I've gone to Winterhold to join the college, and at the entrance I'm required to demonstrate my ability to use magic to Faralda.

I've been told I need to cast Fear, so I bought it from her. However, I'm not sure who or what I'm supposed to cast it on: if I try to cast it on Faralda, I'm told she's too high level to be affected by the spell.

What do I need to do to show Faralda I know how to cast the Fear spell?

  • I'm pretty sure you don't need to cast fear: any magic demonstration will be enough. She prompts you to cast a spell from whatever school you have the most skill in, but that's just a suggestion.

  • @MarkTrapp nope, it's random. I got Illusion when my conjuration was double that.

Don't target Faralda - Target the rune on the ground (it looks like an eye) behind her.

If you do it correctly, it will light up.

    She actually says to "cast it on the seal". I spent some time looking for a horker to cast it on before figuring out she meant the rune.

    @Kordos this is why we play with captions, always!
