📋 About This Mod
Cast spells using the mouse buttons. This mod enables the player to quick select spells that are stored in 39 easily accessible slots and cast them with the left, right, and middle mouse buttons. Intended for efficient spell casting in combat situations. Note: spell scrolls are not supported. Special thanks to Yates1968 for testing and ideas. Usage ----- The spell slots are totally configurable and are organized in 3 different levels. On each level, there are 6 pairs of slots, each pair corresponding to the left and right mouse buttons, plus 1 quick-slot for the middle mouse button. You can alternate between the 6 pairs of slots by using the mouse wheel or the back and forward mouse buttons.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 87 endorsements and over 2,700 downloads.
- Cuts down menu spam—assign spells to mouse buttons for instant casting.
- Works with any spell, giving you 39 hotkey slots to play with.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008—likely incompatible with modern Oblivion patches or mod setups.
- Requires a mouse with at least three buttons; middle-click casting may conflict with other mods.
For Oblivion mages who want faster spell access without breaking immersion. If you're tired of pausing to switch spells mid-fight, this is a solid QoL tweak. Skip if you're on a modern setup or use heavy UI overhauls—old mods can be finicky.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Test with a simple spell first to ensure the mouse button bindings don't conflict with your default attack.
- If you use a mod manager, install manually to avoid overwriting other UI mods.
- Check if your Oblivion version is patched to 1.2—older mods often assume that.
