Casting Spells Keeps Auto Cancelling...

[Nihil in Ruina]

I'm playing a Druid and so often spells I attempt to cast stop casting immediately. Then after about 2-6 attempts to cast it, it finally casts. To be clear, I do not mean the spell is not hitting the enemy. It does not even get to that point. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying spending all my mana to cast one spell...

you need to increase your skill/s that the spell requires to be cast

It seems like the game's tutorial doesn't touch on this at all, but yeah there is a skill system that you level as you use your abilities.

This relic of a post [thedruidsgrove.org] is from 2006 and may be inaccurate, but it's for Druids and might at least give you an idea of what actions lead to leveling your skills.

It’s called fizzle. You have to train your spell to have it ok.
Spell have different family : conjugation, alteration etc..
Try a spell from same family but lower an train it casting it repeatedly.
You will see your skills in this discipline increase and after a certain level there will be no more fizzle
