Skills are used from a skill bar slotted, and your weapons are used for a. passives, and b. abilites as well that can be slotted. In no way is it very similar to Skyrim ^_^
Unfortunate magicka warden main. PC/NA Server Fairweather Friends Retired to baby bgs forever. Leave me alone.
You dont equip magic in your hands/weapon slots here. There are 5 ability slots you can put spells into and cast directly, and you can equip a staff for additional magic damage options. There are 2 staff types: Destruction (with options for fire, ice, or shock damage) and Restoration (for healing).
