The Ability Wheel is a radial pop-up menu that gives you fast access to a larger pool of abilities than the six hotkey slots allow. Holding G (rebindable under the Circle of Imagination controls category) opens the wheel centered on your screen; moving your cursor over a segment highlights the ability in that slot, and releasing G fires it instantly.

Using the Wheel
Hold G to open the wheel
While in-game (not in any other menu), press and hold the G key. The screen darkens and the radial wheel appears centered on your display. The game continues running — the wheel screen does not pause.

The active number of wheel slots displayed during gameplay is controlled by the wheelSlots setting in your HUD config (default: 8, range: 2–16).

Adjust this in the HUD Settings screen to match how many slots you actually want on your wheel.
Binding Screen
Open the Ability Binding screen with K, then toggle to Wheel Mode to assign abilities to each radial slot.
Slot Count
Control how many segments appear on the wheel with the Wheel Slots slider in HUD Settings (K → HUD Settings).
