Well, it didn't work for me. Maybe I was doing something else wrong.

Maybe. I just played through the spells, and even though you do lose the spoon when casting the storm spell (which is a bit unrealistic, granted), I could still cast the teleportation spell without any problem despite not having a spoon.

It might be a bug... it is a bit strange that you lose the spoon after casting the storm spell even though it was just the mud that was used. Maybe try asking at IA to confirm (http://www.infamous-adventures.com/forum)

Though you can play the game without casting that spell (on the other hand, you miss out on a cool ending if you don't get full points)

Athirwen - don't follow the path to the left side of the rock. When you're at the bottom of the rock (on the lower part of the path), just try walking upwards onto the rock, and Gwydion should climb up.

Have you got any inventory items that could be used for magic, or taken anything that belongs to the wizard? eg, fly wings, cat fur, or anything else denoted by a red hotspot in the inventory? If you do and he catches you with them, you will die.

Basic aim so far is to try and create as many spells as you can in order to be free from Manannan. The game is playable, but probably trickier if you haven't played the original as there aren't too many hints and a lot of the game is exploring and picking up stuff.

You say countryside, but,

Go down the mountain like this:

Don't need to go around the rock.

Ah, well I'm right at the beggining, and that is the only spell I can make!

Any hint on what I should do next?

Spoiler

If the wizard has gone, you have around 30 minutes to explore the countryside and obtain ingredients for the other spells. But you have to be back at the house before then, and everything useful for magic must be hidden away and the wand must be returned to its original place. One of the spells is particularly useful for getting rid of Manannan.

I'm only guessing, because I haven't got that far, but when you say "room" do you mean rooms in the house or rooms in the game? I would imagine that you could only cast a flying spell outdoors.

No I have tried every 'Room' indoors and out and I can't seem to cast the spell.

Yes, it's only possible to use that spell in specific places, namely

Spoiler

outside the tavern

and somewhat later on

to avoid a yeti

paolo - You cast the spell by looking at the spellbook in the lab, then clicking cast on the spell you want, and whether you have the right components or not, you will either get the spell or die. You can't actually manually combine ingredients like in kq6, which I think was a pity, but other people like it like this.

About the feather -

Spoiler

try walking nearer to them while they eat. Keep trying and it should work.

With storm brew -

You need an empty jar. You can only get an empty jar after casting the becoming invisible spell. And I hope you've got swamp mud on the spoon

You can find it locked up in the wizard's cabinet. You'll need to find a key

Items for spell: cat fur, dog fur, snake skin, fish powder, thimble of dew, FEATHER, fly's wings, salt, rose-petal essence, mistletoe, nightshade juice, acorns, pouch, mandrake root powder, fishy-smelling stuff in jar, porridge, cup of ocean water, spoon of swamp mud, toadstool powder, saffron, toad spittle, lard, piece of cactus.

Is that the eagle feather? The game says a small feather so you'd need

Spoiler

a chicken feather

Perhaps I need to be carrying just the items I need for the particular spell I am casting - is that the case? I'm going to try that.

No, you shouldn't need to do that. Have you gotten the second release of the game (that is, the bugfixed version that was released with the voicepack?) Also, which spell are you trying to cast, and what inventory items do you have just before you cast that spell?

Have you also got the right utensils to cast the spell properly? (eg, spoon, jar, bowl, etc, depending on what you are casting)

From the paintings in the hallway, just keep clicking until you get them. I'm not sure about it disappearing, because when I rewind to the dawn of time, I don't lose that spell. So that's a bit strange, but maybe you might be able to get the spell again anyway.

Hopefully you kept clicking on 'More' if you had other spells and eventually it'd show up.

The stars are all spaced too evenly - really they should be in clusters and chaotically random, not placed an even distribution. You can also add in the occassional bigger/brighter star too. Google should have plenty of space pictures if you need reference.

No, it's digitally painted... he probably got the texture with lots of custom brushes and/or painter. Amazing number of quality works he has there, and I really like the motion blur he added in some images, not to mention colour and light.

You'll have to reload to an earlier save when you're on the main campus. Make sure you cross the road when there are no cars around, otherwise when you go back to the map screen from the disco, and you crossed just as a car was approaching before, the car will be there again and most likely hit you.

No, you should retain all spells even after using Reversultrar. I checked, and it doesn't happen in my game at least.

If you find the spell in the hallway, you'll be able to use the cheatsheet by using that spell in some way...

You need more spells before you can pass anything. I PM'd you a walkthrough, but do try to use it minimally

Could somebody be so kind as to write a walkthrough? I am so confused with this thing... I can't find most of the spells and I just am really clueless.

That would make things too simple though

Spoiler

If you haven't gotten a spell from Calliope, talk to her after the second exam, and she'll tell you indirectly what she wants. You can then use the spell she gives you to obtain another spell, and from there yet another spell.

Also,

Spoiler

You may not immediately get a spell from the hallways by looking at the paintings, but eventually you should if you keep clicking. You can use that spell to get another useful spell.

[close]

The tricky part after that is passing the exams, but the hints in this thread should already help you out. 

No, but if you hover your mouse (wand) on the right place, it should eventually say 'suspicious book'. But you really don't need that spell

Could there be further hints concerning the other entrance to the library?

Spoiler

Try the alchemy lab
