Ars Magica 2 - Crafting Alter Will not work (Please Help) [Horizons]

[ReeceMNewman]

Alright so i started playing horizons the other day and got into using Ars Magica 2 for the first day or 2 my crafting alter worked perfectly fine but now for no reason at all it has stopped working.

When i go to throw in the blank rune to begin making a spell nothing happens the rune just sits there.

ive searched the web for answers and cant seem to find any.

Pictures of my crafting alter below

[I thought it might have been the carpet touching it hence the ugly mess]

Take another look at the "crafting altar" section of the arcane compendium.
I can point out the obvious things for you now, though:
0) First of all, the crafting altar block itself is not "merging" color to its surroundings, in this case, witchwood planks. That should tell you immediately that something is wrong in the construction of the altar.
1) You're missing the four stairs that go underneath the top part of the altar.
2) If that doesn't fix it, try rotating the lectern so that it faces away from the altar (so that you can see the book facing you when you are facing the altar.

@unseen I think your lever has to be on top of the lectern.
