Settings opens from the title screen or the pause menu. Its five pages are tabs along the top; on a pad, L1 and R1 turn the pages. Restore every default puts every setting and control back as the game shipped them.

Controls
Look sensitivity and Controller look speed (0.4 to 2.5, default 1.0) and Invert vertical look (default Off). Below them, one button per action rebinds its key: click it, press the new key, and the game confirms “Hurry” is now Shift.
A modifier key on its own is refused, and Pause always stays on Esc because it is the way out of this page. Restore the shipped controls undoes every rebinding. The arrow keys keep walking and the numpad keeps casting unless you give those keys to another action. The three Studies orb rows belong to the game's internal teaching studies and do nothing in the university.
Student
Choose how your student looks, with a live preview. Every appearance has the same movement and spells. The ten choices: Man · Initiate (default), Man · Journeyman, Man · Arcane student, Man · Pyromancy student, Man · Prefect, Woman · Traveller, Woman · Herbalism student, Woman · Arcane student, Woman · Storm scholar and Woman · Storm acolyte.
