Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Help How to use magic?

Hi All
I know I must be thick but my wizard won't use magic, I have given him missile fire but how do I get him to use it. It says assign an action key but I have tried every way I can but nothing happens. Please someone put me out of my misery and show me just how thick and stupid I am <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />(
Never had this problem with Divine Divinity.
Yes I have read the manual!!! and that says to use you must assign an action key!!!! but how. Please help me.
Thanks in anticipation for any help offered, please don't flame me for being thick <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />) or maybe my game is bugged?

Press on one of the hands next to the portrait of your mage. Then you get a dropdown menu below it, where there are a few buttons. One of the buttons will have the same icon as the spell your mage learned. (usually a moon with stars). Click on that icon. Now you have assigned an actionkey

You can assign two action buttons like this, a primary and a secondary. The primary action will occur when you press the left mousebutton, the secondary will occur if you press the right mousebutton.

Cheers

Thank you so much for your help it worked <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />) I'm sure I did that before but obviously didn't do it properly, anyway many,many thanks for your quick response very much appreciated.
