  •  PC   Players may not be able to deselect spells, Sparks being one of them. It shows up as either R. One possible solution is listed below:
  1. Tab-open the magic index and assign a couple of spells as favorites (using the F key)
  2. Go back to the game and open the favorites index (key Q)
  3. Assign numbers from 1–9 to each spell
  4. Go back to the game and double tap the number of a spell (i.e. Flames) so it will be assigned to the both hands. Notice how the glitched spell has been substituted by the double-tapped spell
  5. Tap a different number to assign a different spell to the left hand (ie Lesser Ward). You can see that your right hand has Flames and the left has Lesser Ward.
  • Dragons may not attack if under the effect of Sparks.
  • This may be used while holding an object that can be held and used on it to create the effect that Telekinesis has objects.
