Well. I usually dont read manuals before I play the game-just because I am lazy. I usually only skim the manuals. So my answer will be what I have discovered by playing a mage and raising levels in mysticism, destruction, alteration, etc. that it increases the chances that a given spell, under that school, will be cast.

More difficult spells will cost more magicka and will have a smaller chance of being cast.

Heres an example using my mage that I am currently playing:
I have a 51 as my Conjurer level.

I have a 100% chance to cast Ancestor Ghost at around 20 magicka
I have a 89% chance to cast Lesser Bonewalker at around 35 magicka
I have a 55% chance to cast a Clannfear at around 45 magicka
I have a 23% chance to cast a Daedroth at around 90 magicka

Notice how the percentages go down for harder level spells and also notice how much more magicka it costs to summon a daedroth compared to an Ancestor Ghost.

I know that if I am wrong that somebody on the forum will correct me.

small snooty comment...you should buy the game so the company can stay in business and create more wonderful games...

ok, super t, detect animal, detect key and detect enchant all work the same way, except detect animal....

detect key will cast, and if you immediately right click to the map view, all keys, in chests or not will show as yellow circles...

blue for enchanted items...

red for detect animal....

but only animals with sould will show up....

by soul i mean you can soul trap them...so if you cast spell in middle of balmora, you wont see anything, you have to go out into wilderness or whatever to detect souls...

now a superbly useful, but i stopped using after awhile is a item, like extravagant ring with 100 feet of 2 second detect animal,key and enchantement...

activate, and right click immediately, in a deep dark dungeon you will see the amount of loot, and even see creatures in fog of war....

using "player->tfow" you can wipe the fog and see all amubush points and know when to activate ring of surroundings for crit damage sneak attacks....

also, some of the smuggler caves, its a major pain in the but to find the keys to release the slaves, and you can also see various parts of the dungeon, so you can plan strategy...

great at low levels...much less useful at high levels when you have created soem enchanted items...

Snooty? What's snooty about telling a burglar to stay the hell out of your local grocery, because the owners are going to raise the rates for all of you to make up for the loss? The guy's ripping us all off, whether he means to, or not. And feeling embarassed about calling it what it is--realworld theft--only encourages its practice.

You are right, fable. Unfortunetly, this practice has spread throughout society and now there is no stopping it. I mean, as soon as I got Morrowind, 2 of my friends immediatly requested that I copy the CD and give it to them. Of coarse I declined.

The temptation of saving money can be too strong for some. But I dont think hes ripping us off.

This is from the BSA web site

"Quite simply, to make or download unauthorized copies of software is to break the law, no matter how many copies are involved. Whether you are casually making a few copies for friends, loaning disks, distributing and/or downloading pirated software via the Internet, or buying a single software program and then installing it on 100 of your company’s personal computers, you are committing a copyright infringement. It doesn’t matter if you are doing it to make money or not -- you are exposing yourself to severe civil and potentially even criminal penalties

Software theft is a serious matter. If you or your company is caught copying software, you may be held liable under both civil and criminal law.

If the copyright owner brings a civil action against you, the owner can seek to stop you from using its software immediately and can also request monetary damages. The copyright owner may then choose between actual damages, which includes the amount it has lost because of your infringement as well as any profits attributable to the infringement, and statutory damages, which can be as much as $150,000 for each program copied. In addition, the government can criminally prosecute you for copyright infringement. If convicted, you can be fined up to $250,000, or sentenced to jail for up to five years, or both."

...said the thief as he robbed the people in the street. No, I'm afraid people don't think of it that way. There's nothing clever about stealing from small development houses who put several years' work into producing a single item. It hits the streets--and you steal it. Who ends up paying when people do that? Us, the ones who buy it. Because that theft has to be factored into the cost.

Get a life.

i was just kidding about sounding embarressed... I am actually old enough to remember the hey days of the apple 2 series, and fully agree that software piracy is the lowest form of theft...
