Need help with using telekinesis with a controller

[lindsay_gairns]

I can select the spell to cast but then can't select anything in the enviroment to cast it on as the radial menu with my inventory items is open. Am I missing something?

Close the inventory select UI and then select something in the world to toss.

The game assumes you want to 'throw' something from your inventory by default, and if you exit out of that interface with 'B' you should then be able to use it on enemies.

You'd have to cancel twice in order to actually stop casting the spell.

Thanks for replying. If I use B to go back it goes back to the radials to select a spell or action.

Then your telekinesis works entirely different from the version of the game I'm playing.

Works every time for me.

My party's inventory doesn't open with the Action radial menus.

I'm confused what's happening. Are you trying to Telekinesis something from inventory? Don't you have to highlight, (X), Drop, then Action menu to Telekinesis it?

If you mean mage hand, it's a disembodied hand companion that lasts for several rounds and you have to cast it on the ground where there is space

The Telekinesis spell works just about identically to throw.

It assumes by default that you want to throw something from your inventory, but when you back out of that it should give you the option to target things in the world to manipulate with the spell.

While I haven't tried it, it's also possible you can just select something in the world to manipulate even with the inventory option open. I haven't tried that since backing out has always worked for me.
