I tried playing Skyrim last night I started a new character never used a mage before. I use doing 2 fire spells when some wolfs were running at me when all of a sudden I lost control of my character the view went upward toward the sky and started to spin around in a circle all the while the spells kept casting.
I didn't know what to do so I tried randomly hitting buttons but it went on till I ran out of magicka.

Is this sort of thing common with magic or just a freak occurrence and there is something I can push to get it to stop?
