In my Dishonored playthrough on PC, I just completed the Flooded District mission and, of course, I went to retrieve Corvo's equipment.
I succeeded and for a while I could still use every weapon I had. When I switched to Blink for my left hand, everything disappeared again from the shortcut bar, leaving me with the gun on 5 and the rest of the spells from 6 to 0. Weird thing is that I still can see the all my retrieved equipment inside my inventory.
I tried to restart the game a couple of times, completed the mission and started the next one right away to see if it would fix, but I still can use only the blade and the gun (with my powers).
I can't seem to find anything around (patches nor articles), can somebody explain what's going on please? Does it relate to my max chaos playstyle?
UPDATE Yesterday I did beat the game and start a new one at max difficulty level. Still no equipment :-/ I plan to play it low chaos and try to beat it again without any homicide, so it's fine. But still, it's a bit of a bug .
UPDATE #2 I forgot to mention: I can't interact with my equipment inside my inventory (can't use items or can't equip them) no matter what I try.

Sounds like the game was not installed correctly. Your best chance is to reinstall the game.
