You first need to assign the spell scroll to one of the numbered spell
slots, just like you would do with a spell rune.  Select the scroll in
your inventory and thn press the Action key and the Forward/Up key at
the same to assign it a slot.  A number should appear over the scroll in
your inventory indicating which slot it was assigned to.  You'll need a
free slot to do this, so if you've already assigned all 10 then you'll
need unassign one of your runes or other scrolls first.

After you've assigned the scroll to a slot exit your inventory and press
the number key corresponding to the number the scroll was assigned to.
Slot number 10 corresponds to the 0 key.  Your character should change
his stance and some sort of magical effect should appear indicating that
the character is preparing to cast a spell.  Finally to actually cast
the spell press the Action key and Forward/Up key at the same time.

While overall Gothic is a great game, unfortunately it has one of the
worst user interfaces ever put into a game.
