Does the spells have to be learned in order to be valid?

[versus]

Can is use spells/rituals which i know via my older gaming experiences or does my character have to learn them to be valid?

I would expect your character to perform the implicit parts of them incorrectly if they don't know them, but don't know if that has been tested. Why don't you do it and report back?

I remember this being a topic of discussion on the old forum when Sami described about changes to rituals.. Unfortunately I'll have to search for it to see what the outcome was.

Regarding spells, is knowing certain procedure to perform them necessary? Lets say I haven't got that spell from the quest, but did the steps as part of my survival. Would that still complete the spell?

If so, I think, this sort of reward will get less and less relevant as we(in the real world) learn those rituals from our dead characters.

Knowing is necessary. If you don't know the spell, doing the mere mechanics don't have any magical meaning and don't complete the spell.
