EDIT: I figured it out. I still think it has something to do with the patch, but I figured it out. Okay.

My Xbox is not hooked up to the Internet, unless I manually put a cable on it. So that's what I did last night, and I downloaded update 1.8 and Dragonborn. Apparently, the way we actually
cast spells on Xbox is now different. I feel like a klutz as I admit this, and there's probably information out there that EVERYONE knows but me...but just in case some of you all get stuck with this one...
To cast spells before 1.8, I had to hold down the button, let it go briefly, but then
tap it quickly just after letting it go. After 1.8 the "tap" is no longer required. All I gotta do is hold down the spell and then let it go. Spell works.
*facepalm*
