Shadow Spirit not collecting souls G11

in Help
So I've spent hours redoing the mission, I've passed the part where in I use the shadow stone and cutscene and got the shadow spirit skill...
Everytime I killed a mob, the shadow spirit exp bar won't budge and I'm up close killing them since according to the wiki its faster to collect spirits off their bodies. Spent practically 2 hours running around killing while fending the python and my shadow spirit skill exp won't budge so I can't use it since "not enough spirits absorbed" :/ what exactly am I to do or is it bugged?

    Gathering souls doesn't increase the skill's exp.
    You need to gain levels in order to get skill exp.
    If you don't have any skill exp, it won't let you use it to attack.

    That's kinda bs ... so its not souls I need but skill exp? :/ I can barely lvl up due to being almost 100 with my current lvl x.x

    Did you use the shadow spirit skill on the enemy corpses until a message show up "You've absorbed the spirits as much as possible"? Once that message show up you can use it to attack.

    I haven't gotten that message so far? When I use shadow spirit it makes me aim at an enemy though and when I click it says I can't attack due to not having spirits. I'll try aiming at the corpse if its possible then

    It makes you aim at an enemy?

    Do you have "Cursor Targeting" checked in the Options?
    Or "Use Skill after Targeting"?

    They're both in Options > Game > Control.
    If they're checked, turn them off for this.

    I finally did it! I crashed after the cutscene but it was finally over!
    I have the option "use skill after targeting" since I can only play with 1 hand, but it finally cleared!
