Hall of Fire - Mage entrance bug?

[Xereth]

SPOILER POSSIBLY
I threw a shuriken across to the pressure plate and then the head shot a fireball at me, i couldn't figure out what to do. So i did all the other stuff. Now that i returned and still clueless, i googled it and found out that your supposed to use a spell or fire bomb. I tried that and...nothing. So then i got a little angry, tried all my spells and threw more stuff...i cant figure out anything else to do. Please help a frustrated gamer.

Make sure you're hitting the fireball it spits with *your* fireball

For me it worked when I used the firesword from the same area.

Thats one issue, id doesnt shoot more fireballs because of the things i threw at it before...

Shoot your firesword at the head then the pit will be covered
