Do you mean the gesture messaging, or the spell failure messaging?
The gesture messaging is normal when you don't target BOLT. The fail messaging means you tried to cast it way too soon.

You also might check for nerve damage: Early in my empath's career, she had a hard time casting after healing paralysis on another character.

>I've never had any problems learning it by snap casting without targetting. But my skill level is pretty low. Does this change later?
Typing target instantly puts a TM spell to full prep. You want to send the prep and target commands together as fast as you can. The best way I've found to train TM is to spam as many casts as you can into 200 seconds.

You aren't truly snap casting it.
>prep bolt
cast
Since you're not feeding enough power into the spell pattern to make it coherent, you quickly work your way to the minimum required.
That won't affect your current attunement very much.
Heatless orange flames blaze between your fingertips as you prepare the Energy Bolt spell.
>

Your spell fails completely.
Roundtime: 1 second.
True snap casting isn't possible without targeting first. That failure is with 1624 PM and 99 discipline.
