Elden Ring Incantations : Master the Magic of the Lands Between
September 27, 2024 12:26 pm
Elden Ring is packed with an expansive range of gameplay mechanics and features, from a diverse array of weapons to a vast map waiting to be explored. One of the standout features is the return of incantations from previous Souls games, but with some exciting twists. These spells let you enhance, defend, and attack depending on the situation. In Elden Ring, magic is split into two categories: Sorceries and Incantations.
Sorceries are your more traditional magical abilities—think ranged projectiles and magical sword attacks. On the other hand, Incantations include holy magic for healing or repelling the undead, and fire magic drawn from dragon communion. Sorceries scale with the Intelligence attribute, while Incantations are all about Faith.
If you’re planning to use Incantations, you’ll want a character with high Faith, and you’ll need Sacred Seals to cast them. Besides stacking up on Faith, you’ll also need to invest runes into the Mind attribute to boost your Focus Points (FP) bar. And don’t forget about Memory Slots—you’ll need enough of these to equip your spells, which you can increase by finding more Memory Stones.
As you explore the vast Elden Ring map, you’ll come across various enemies and challenges that might require a mix of different weapons and spells. Some starting classes come with Incantations, but most spells have to be found in the world, either by defeating bosses or buying them from specific merchants. You can also find Prayerbooks to give to certain NPCs to unlock additional spells for purchase.
