Casting spells without knowing what you are doing can be dangerous.
I saw your other post about fireballs and that tells me you know nothing of magic and how it really works.
Start with the basics such as meditation, centering, grounding, energy manipulation and visualization.
These things take time so maybe in a few months or a year you can cast your first spell. Hopefully by then you will know which spells are logical and which are not.

hi :)
practice makes permanent, not perfect! so practice without knowledge could cause permanent damage (from the effects of your misfire/backfire or your spell casting abilities) try meditation, or the newbie center! maybe just read some articles and forums for now
then youll be ready! :D its worth the wait and time flies!

What makes a spell work isn't the spell itself but rather the knowledge, skill, and experience of the person casting the spell. Further, no spell is guaranteed to work 100% of the time. There are always factors that could cause a spell to fail. But the most common cause of failure is that the person casting the spell doesn't have the practice and training in place to make magic work in the first place.

Well, if you're serious about learning how to do magic and with starting from the rock-bottom then you don't start out by casting spells, you start out by learning how and why magic works.
You see, there is no such thing as an "easy" spell or a "beginner" spell. One either understands how magic works and has mastered the basics...in which case the magic will work..or you haven't done that sort of work..and no spell will work no matter how "easy" it seems.
Casting a successful spell involves much more than finding some spell on the internet or in a book, saying some words, lighting a candle, waving a wand of any of that sort of thing. In order for magic to work you need to understand how and why it works in the first place. Grounding and centering, visualization, focus and intent, energy manipulation, etc are all necessary first steps to even begin to have a chance at a spell actually working...and more importantly to prevent a spell from back-firing on you.
So, my advice for anyone who is truly serious is to start by reading a few books and practicing the exercises those books will give you. Once you have mastered the basics you won't need anyone to give you spells, you'll be able to create your own spells that will be far more effective than anything you find on the net. Here's the books I suggest:
"Before You Cast a Spell" by Carl McColman
"Spells and How They Work" by Janet and Stewart Farrar
