How to use scrolls

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I have scrolls, but can't figure out how to use them.

When I equip them in my inventory an arrow appears, however it is not assigned to a hand and it doesn't work when I press the shout button.

My example is on PC, but it would be useful to know for all platforms.

Just select it, it should show up in one of your hand (you don't actually see a scroll, but the spell animation). Just cast it then like a natural spell.

Skyrim – Companion Won’t Wear Armor, How to Fix

She won't use Elven stuff because it's weaker than her heavy type Steel armor, I guess because she's skilled in Heavy Armor and not in Light Armor. I've given her Dwarven stuff and she equipped it on the spot myself.

As for why she did equip the elven helm, well she doesn't have a helm at all in her default gear so any helm is better than what she has no matter the stats.

How to change spells (using hotkeys) in a spell+shield configuration

I've figured out one way to do this but its pretty clumsy. The key is that double tapping a spell key will equip the spell in both hands. So I have my hotkeys as follows:

1 - Shield
2 - Spell A
3 - Spell B
etc

If I want to equip shield + spell A, I hit 2, 2, 1. This will equip spell A to both hands and then put the shield back into the left hand.

If I want to swap to shield + spell B, I hit 3, 3, 1.

This works but I would still much prefer a simpler way.
