That's how I can duplicate it.
No, it is a bug. Same thing happens to me too (Windows version, if that matters), no matter wether Caps lock is on or not. Also some other places where Shift does not work as intended (like I posted in the bug thread).

National spells other than battle magic, summons, or holy appear to be missing. Intentional?

Do you mean there are national restricted rituals ? Didn't see any yet

From MA:
Ulm has Tempering the Will in Thaumaturgy.
Marignon has Holy Pyre, now national.
Tien Chi has Celestial Chastisement in Evocation.
Abysia has Inner Furnace in Enchtantment, and it's VERY cool.
Jotunheim has Illwinter the global, of course.
Bandar Log still has Celestial Music in Thaumaturgy.

Those are all I cound find ATM. MA R'lyeh doesn't yet have the dream thing, it seems.

Except Illwinter , those are all battle spells, not rituals (as I was told on my Mage graduation ), and all plus other are in pp 259-263 of the manual

We have a problem with Illwinter, which is not even in the full alphabetical list (Grimoire)!!

Default Re: Manual Typos

page 60 - General Orders > Fire
"If an enemy is" - this is a sentence fragment that doesn't continue on the next page - perhaps a printing error in my version?

page 63 - Unit Inventories
Should probably be "Commander Inventories" to alleviate confusion as standard units can't carry magic items. Just a thought.

EDIT - I am enjoying the manual as well, just trying to help its next incarnation.

- Caps lock is not on.

For what it's worth:
- Win XP - Service Pack 2
- Laptop Computer
- AMD 64
- Like Jarkko said - several of the [SHIFT]+ operations are behaving incorrectly for me.

Nothing really special about the system - no weird setups or background programs running. But let me know if there's any more info I can provide to help.

(Using the demo)

I tried, and failed, to type in capitals. My Pretender's name is all lowercase, and when I tried using the command for monthly casting (M, right?), I couldn't do it.

When I quit the demo, the caps lock was then on (I'd typed the key a few times during the session).

I can't use caps in the demo either. My keyboard shows when capslock is enabled so I know for certain that neither the shift key nor capslock have any effect.

Default Re: Manual Typos

pp. 85, Indirect Magic Table: might be a printing error, but there seems to be problem on the shaded lines of the table, so that the benefit from Earth magic has "Magic L adership +5", Nature magic has "Ma ic Leadership +5", and Blood magic has the "5" cut off halfway.

pp. 155, Grimoire Spell Index: "Summmon Sea Dogs" and "Summmon Sea Lions" should have "Summon". Not too big a deal, but the spelling puts them out of alphabetical order.
