Looks too much like a "halt" or "stop" button to me.

Maybe turn the hand sideways?

I don't know, why, but as for me the best is this one

From Rusalka's collection.

It's a thunderbolt, isn't it?

Yeah, I think it's good for when magic gets in. ProgD is working on that right?

To be back OT, I thought it could be a good "use" button. Thunderbolt = energy = action. Really. It's much better then current "drag" and "attack" buttons, which are taken out of the blue.

True, but I like a hand better. :P

The buttons are lame though, yeah. I always though the note-create button was a rock. Then I saw it was a hand.

Maybe a gear?

Not really... the hand button like that is used in many RPG games on various gaming platforums as a "use" icon. I think it works good for this...

In the opposite of 'halt' ;)

Oooh, you should do the middle finger LOL.

I like this hand. It looks use-y.

What would it look like with the thumb folded down as well? Most of the time when you point at something, press something, or click a button you do it with your thumb and fingers all rolled down except for the pointing finger.

Just curious what it would look like. Might seem more natural...

Did anyone consider to just spell out "use", similar to "eat"?
