Lords of the Fallen - Help needed - Cannot cast spells

[hannaconner]

Hello, is there anyone who can help me?
I've been playing the game for a few days now, am about level 50, Warrior, and have a fighting skill.
I can't use rage, earthquake, or any other spells, but they're already fully skilled (3/3). My "faith" is at 20 points. The magic glove works perfectly, and the magic bar is full.

In Lords of the Fallen there’s a clear difference between weapon abilities and actual spells. Rage or Earthquake aren’t magic spells at all – they’re weapon skills tied directly to certain weapons. You don’t trigger them with the magic glove, but by pressing L2 and then an attack button. They use stamina, not mana.

Spells, on the other hand – the proper Faith or Inferno incantations – need to be equipped at a Vestige in your spell slots, and then cast with the right catalyst (in your case Faith, so the Radiant Catalyst). To use them, you hold L2 to ready the catalyst and then hit R2 to fire off the spell. The fact that your glove works only shows the system is fine, but trying to cast Rage or Earthquake that way won’t work, because those are weapon skills, not spells.

A lot of players get confused in the beginning, since those weapon abilities look like regular spells in the menu. Your Faith stat doesn’t matter for Rage and Earthquake – it’s only relevant for Radiant spells. With Faith at 20 you should already have access to some strong spells, but you’ll need to slot them in first before you can actually use them.
