The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Listen to Tolfdir.
1 of 5: Enter the Hall of the Elements, then go through the large iron gate and over to where Tolfdir is talking to some other apprentices.
2 of 5: Say whatever you want to when he asks you a question, then wait for him to talk to you again.
3 of 5: After he teaches you Lesser Ward (or you tell him you already know it), go to your Spells menu and select it.
4 of 5: Wait until he says to cast the ward spell and keep it up, then start casting it. (Note that you may have to move onto the circular floor carving that Tolfdir is facing before he'll say that.)
5 of 5: Keep casting the ward spell until Tolfdir throws a firebolt at you, then stop casting it and wait to get the next quest.
