HOW DO I CAST SPELLS?

I press the cast spell button, it takes me to a menu where I select which spell to cast, and then...nothing. I can't actually cast the spell.

I try pressing the cast spell button again, it takes me to the menu again. I try pressing recast, it says I already have a spell loaded.

Somebody help me out!

The action/activate button is what actually fires a spell. And spells that require touch you have to actually be touching an npc.

Ahh, don't feel bad. It took me a week to figure that out as well.
