I can't cast anything but cantrips with Qara. This is my first time through the game.
I just added her to the party and I wanted to use her to fireball enemies. She doesn't cast..(Fireball shows up in the action bar all the way at the top of the screen for a second and disappears).
So i thought..maybe I can't cast area affecting spells in neverwinter city..So i tried magic missile..Didn't work...I tried mage armor..didn't work..
I tried light and resistance..they worked..
The noncastable spells are NOT grayed out. and she KNOWS those spells...and she HAS the charisma to cast them..
I tried resting and reloading.. and I even tried to make the AI control her...the AI just made her attack enemy with a staff..
My Qara can only cast Cantrips

Did you check to see if her charisma was damaged or drained or something? If she has a Charisma below 11 due to some sort of spell or disease or something, she won't be able to cast spells at all.

she does have the charisma to cast even 9th level spells.
EDIT:
I have also reinstalled and repatched the game. The game started in 1.10 and its still 1.10.
I just discovered that when i try to cast Mage armor or fireball or any other non-cantrip spells. It says ''No uses or preparations left for that spell'', when I can CLEARLY cast 4-6 of them, as indicated by the number next to the spell. I can cast neither from the quickslot NOR the quickcast menu. If I rest, I can ''cast'' fireball a few times without error message (without fireball either), and after that, it will say ''No uses or preparations left for that spell. Sometimes, it outright says there is no uses or preparations left.

Sounds like a bug that seems exclusive to you for some reason. The program is accepting your "casts" and subtracting your spells per day, but it not come into effect... somehow.
Might want to bring this up to technical support.
Could be your save game though.. have you tried reloading from before you met Qara? Also on reinstalling, perhaps you might want to try also removing all registry entry, if you've not tried so. It's totally remote, but it might just work... I dunno.

Have you cast any spells with any other characters, like Elanee? If it's only Qara who is broken, then it's annoying, but it's not a huge deal. Another spellcaster will show up for you pretty soon.

Like SWCarter said, if it's just Qara thats messed up, I wouldn't worry much about it. I won't say anymore than that. No intention to spoil anything if it's your first run through it.
''White light beams through darkness, beset by immense haze over a few seconds followed by a loud cacophony. Motionless, the repercussion of your action strikes your feebled mind and senses. Still dazed, the intensity lingers that follows after tripping over your own sonic blind trap.''
Well... trying to compensate someone by saying another replacement for Qara is due is not really a comfort. I mean, part of the game is RP, and I might prefer to have a prissy, antagonistic chick with strong arson tendency in my party as opposed to whatever else might be available now or later.
To the OP, you mentioned in NW city... have you tried taking her out to a different location? Same thing? Have you mistakenly set your AI to not use spells? Might want to just check though the list and reset everything just to be sure.
That some spells work while other don't is really... weird. I can't think of any reason/possibilities that you might not have tried already.
Otherwise, sorry, but I'll still suggest sending an email to tech support as no one else seems to have faced the problem before.
