Hi,
Just like many I recently downloaded Daggerfall. I have never played it before because at the time of its release I was not into rpg's. However, that is another story. My question is using magic. I know how to load and unload it, the problem I have is casting it. I get to a spot where the text says it is loaded to be fired, but for some reason I cannot fire it. I thought that my cast button would do that, but apparently the cast button is how you choose what you want to use. I appreciate the help.

My config:
M3 -cast
M2 - reload


which one actually shoots the spell off???

Thanks!!!

left click should be the one that actually fires (unless you remapped that too)

You have
cast - this lets me pick the spell, once I pick it, a screen says I am ready to fire
so I hit the cast button again and it brings me back to cast the spell

recast- allows me to reload the spell, this works fine, because I have aborted and reloaded the spells with no problem.

However, I can't figure out how to fire the spell.

You just click, the same way you click to talk to people and loot things. If it's a touch spell, you actually have to have a target in range.

"Click" isn't the right word, since that suggests a mouse button. It's the "activate" button. As Jormungandr said, you use the same button to fire as you do to talk. The "cast" button just loads the spell.
