Keyboard Magic Binds
I apologize in advance if this thread has been made already, and ask that if it has, please redirect me to said thread. No? Onward!

Now, I love this game. It's a great co-op, one of the best. Truly. But I've ran into a problem that I haven't been able to solve yet, and that would be Magic-binds while using a keyboard as your controller. I've mapped out the rest of my keys comfortably enough, but magic is the tricky part.

Right now I have "Mouse 4" set as my "Magic" key. I use my mouse as my "Light" and "Heavy" attacks and that works out well for me. The "Heavy" key is the default for your first magic spell, it's simple and quick to use. Unfortunately when I try to cast my second level magic spell, the projectile, I would have to press either "Use" button. Which right now are assigned to "Enter" on both my home row and num-pad.

The problem with this is that if I want to use my projectile magic, I have to either; A.) Stop moving to press the home row key, leaving my unbelievably vulnerable. Or. B.) I have to use my thumb to tap the num-pad key. Which causes me to let go of my magic key. If I assigned "Magic" to another key, I would even then be at a disadvantage because I can't use my mouse at the same time while casting.

So my question boils down to this:

Can I bind specific spells to specific keys? I'd like to have my first spell remain the way it is, and have my second spell (projectile) be mapped to the "Mouse 1" key.

Phew! That was a long read.

Just tried mapping my "Use" key for "Mouse 5". It works well because I can just press my thumb down a tiny bit more and use my magic. Plus quick access for potions and what not. Just have to wait until my second play through for more spells. Can't wait ._.

Isn't projectile the same as holding magic and pressing the heavy attack key?

No, the projectile is the second magic spell you get. The first one already have been given to you when you start. The magic+heavy combo is more of a blast. I just finished a playthrough with the green knight, and his projectile is a ball of poison. While the heavy combo is a cloud.
