How to heal with the right hand in Skyrim

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

When playing Skyrim, I can't equip anything to my right hand, no matter if I choose it with M1 or M2.

So say I want to have Flames on the left hand and Healing on the right, and I click on Flames, it's assigned to my left hand. Then I go to Healing and click on it with right hand it still assigns to my left one.

I heard that it's reversed, so you have to click with M2 for left hand and M1 for the right, but it still doesn't work.

How can I get Healing to be in my right hand?

Best Answer

Directly equip spells (same instructions whether in the magic menu, or the favorite menu).

  • Left click on healing to equip it to the right hand (left mouse button).
  • Right click on flames to equip it to the left hand (right mouse button).

Equipping spells via hotkey assignment

  • Open the magic menu and press f on both flames and healing to mark them as favorites.
  • Open the favorites menu and press 3 on flames and 4 on healing (3 and 4 for the example, any numbers, 1 to 8 will work). This assigns the spell to the key, but not to any particular hand.
  • exit the favorites menu.
  • Press 4 once to equip healing to the left hand.
  • Press 4 a second time to equip healing to the right hand.
  • Press 3 once to equip flames to the left hand.

That is, press 4,4,3 to get the first spell in the right hand and the second spell in the left hand.

This also works to get a spell in the right hand and a shield in the left hand.
