How do I cast spells?

Bind it to a hotkey, and hit the C button when it's active.

How do I use hotkeys?

In the menu item: first you select what hotkey (1-10) slot you wish to use (see the arrow on the far left) by using the up and down arrow keys and pressing the action button. Then you select what item or spell you wish to bind to the hotkey you selected.

In the game you press the corresponding hotkey (1 for the first, 0 for the last), and it should show up in the top right corner of the screen. Press C to cast the spell you selected, or V if it's an item.
