Gothic 1 orc spell scroll problem

I am at the spot in Gothic 1 where I need to use the orc teleport
scroll inside the orc cemetery to proceed, but the scroll does not
work for me. I have my character standing in the correct area, and I
get the blue sparkles and a blue aura surrounds me, but nothing else
happens. Now, I made a decision to try to make it through the game as
a pure warrior, if possible, so this is the first magic I have tried
to use, but the scroll says it takes 5 mana and I have exactly that.
My character has not trained at all in magic, so stats screen still
lists "no" for magic. Is that the problem? and if it is, how can I
get it switched to yes, given that I am now a full-fledged guard in
the old camp? Thanks for any help.

You have to hold the casting key down until the spell fires off.
Just holding it and releasing it will drain manna but not enough
to trigger the spell. This was one of the more annoying things
in Gothic until I figured it out.

Thanks for the tip! I suppose the manual might have spelled that out,
if there had been a manual.

if there had been a manual.
Also, there is a number of potions that raise your stats. Search more,
I don't know how you got to this point without finding any.
I think you gonna need more then 5 mana to finish the game, so if you don't
want to spen those precious skill points find the potions!
