Spellbook issue

I've got a small problem, wondering if anyone can help.
I'm playing an Urgoth Fighter, and acquired a spellbook for some Arcane spell. I equipped it, and when I came accross some enemies, I used it by left clicking on my mouse- and now I can't figure out a way to switch it back so that I attack with that button. Got me killed in the middle of a fight because I could no longer attack. I'm sure there's a way to do it, but I couldn't figure it out.

a same problem i had, you just hit "F" key and it will switch back to your weapons and you can assign #keys to your spells for quicker access. this should do the trick if i understood your problem

Also if you are playing Urgoth in the collectors addition there is a door you can't fit through to advance the plot!

You can also hit the "Q" key to swap weapons, that also disables the spells.

Here's how to best manage your spellcasting and weapon swapping:
Any spell or potion you have can be assigned to one of 8 numerical hotkeys by just accessing your magic or potion list and press #1 through #8 while holding the pointer over a spell. Now some spells will be cast as soon as you press the hotkey # and won't open the spell window at all, while the other spells will not be cast when you press the hotkey but will bring up the magic window and then you must click the main attack button to cast the spell. In the case when the magic window is opened up, every time you click the attack button will cause you to cast the same spell again until you either choose a different spell or close the window.
You may or may not have already noticed that the Q key will switch you from your melee weapon to your range weapon. Now, when your spell window is open, pressing the Q key will close the spell window and bring your last equipped weapon under the control of the left mouse button. Please be aware that the most powerful spells like Fire Nova and Cataclysm have a rather long cooldown period when you won' be able to do any more casting or attacking for a while, but the number of times you press Q will still be queued up.
Now, just as Q will bring you out of the spell window to the function of your last equipped weapon, F will open up the spell window to the last spell you used. So if you end up in a situation where the best spell happens to be the last one you just used, you can press F instead of the hotkey to bring that spell back up.
