@Richleth Good lord your response is hard to parse.
General observations
To sum up what I think of your responses here; They aren’t helpful. That shouldn’t be normal, you have no idea how I’m drawing the M, and you’re making guesses at my abilities in general.
Attempts to correct
If directly tracing doesn’t work, then the book needs to be updated. The rest boils down to “doesn’t matter”, and I already gathered that empirically.
Various spell successes
Looks like this boils down to a polite version of “git gud”. Again, not helpful without context.
Possible causes
YOU LITERALLY JUST SAID “Tracing your book helps with some but not all spells”, and now “the runes in the book are correct”. Which is it?
As for what might be graded, I was allowing for the possibility that both the local client and the remote server were tracking my movements. If they were at all desynced, it could cause me to think I was drawing perfectly locally, but on the server side it was just a bunch of jumbled lines. @Riley_D pretty much confirmed that this is not the case, so it’s a non-issue.
Suggestions
Your responses are effectively “meh, figure it out”. Not only not helpful, but not directed at you. And having basic instructions are not crutches. I’m not asking for easy-mode, I’m asking to be able to learn without guessing, and in non-combat conditions.
