How do I demonstrate the fear spell to Faralda?

Question

I've gone to Winterhold to join the college, and at the entrance I'm required to demonstrate my ability to use magic to Faralda.

I've been told I need to cast Fear, so I bought it from her. However, I'm not sure who or what I'm supposed to cast it on: if I try to cast it on Faralda, I'm told she's too high level to be affected by the spell.

What do I need to do to show Faralda I know how to cast the Fear spell?

Answer

Don't target Faralda - Target the rune on the ground (it looks like an eye) behind her.

If you do it correctly, it will light up.
