I'm confused because Shadowhunter spells seem to be all over the place. I don't remember using spell A, spell is prepared and I can't seem to use it.

Am I missing something? Being at low health, for example, makes you unable to use spells?
Shadowhunter ? You mean ShadowHeart ?

Some character/class get some special spells that you don't need to prepare and have access all the time to them.
Some might be usable only 1 per short or long rest, or some might have special condition of activation or even special ressources associate to the class (Ki for Monk, Channel Divinity charges for Cleric etc...)

Also if you're wearing an armor class (light, medium, heavy) you're not proficient with, it will make you unable to cast spells. (But if you speak about Shadow HEart, it shouldn't be the case since, if I remember well, she's proficient with Heavy armor)

You could also just lack the spell slot required to cast it.

Yeah, I wanted to meant Shadowheart :messenger_tears_of_joy:.

I'm gonna screenshot it later today and post here what the game throws at me and unables me to cast the spell.

I'm pretty sure I must be missing something.

It's because you don't have the spell slot available. (You can see it at the bottom of the spell you highlighted. The level 1 spell slot is red with a warning triangle.)

Most of major spells needs a spell slot to be cast. A lvl 1 spell use a lvl1 spell slot. A lvl 2, a lvl 2 etc...

Now you have used all your spell slot (I can see it because they are all grey instead of blue, they are the little square above your spell box at the bottom of the screen)
Currently you have 4 Lvl1 spell slots and 3 lvl 2. But all are used (you casted 4 lvl 1 spells et 3 lvl 2 spells).

They refill on rest (but can't remember if it's on short rest or only on long rest).

You basically get charges to cast spell. You can't cast them again and again without rest..

Only cantrip or ritual can be cast without using a Spell slot.

I summoned the ogres during the Hag fight, killed the hag and then the ogres proceed to kill mayrina.

I'm not even mad, joke was on me.
