How to Switch Spells in Combat and Troubleshoot Casting

You do not need to visit an Arcane Anvil or swap firearms every time a fight calls for a different magical attack. A custom HUD menu lets you change your active abilities on the fly while keeping the same gun in your hands.

Using the HUD Spell Selector

1. Make sure IronsMode is toggled on using the keybind you configured in your control settings.

2. Look at the Spell Selector displayed in the bottom-left corner of your screen.

3. Pick the desired spell from the custom HUD menu.

4. Reload your firearm immediately after selecting the new ability, then pull the trigger to fire the newly chosen spell.

Why Your Gun Fires Normal Bullets Instead of Spells

If your firearm shoots standard ammunition or fails to cast magic, check these four requirements:

  • IronsMode is off: Press your assigned control keybind to turn IronsMode back on.
  • You forgot to reload: Selecting a spell from the bottom-left HUD requires a fresh reload before the gun fires it.
  • Missing Curios setup: Ensure your spell-imbued ammo box is placed inside a Curios slot so it can store mana.
  • Wrong or empty ammo: Verify the imbued ammo box still holds the exact ammunition type your gun uses.
