![]()### In-Game Description --- *A sorcery that dates farther back than recollection. Allows you to blend into your surroundings.* *Those who fear the unseen are cowards. Those who never doubt their eyes are fools.* ### Use --- - Turns you into an inanimate object that blends into your surroundings. Attacking, being attacked, taking damage, rolling or performing an action breaks the spell. - You can sprint while morphed. - You can block while morphed. - Silences footsteps and sound from falls (but not armor) while the spell is active, making the use of Hush questionable. ### Availability --- - Found in Harvest Valley. The spell is in the last poison mist cloud of the area, just before entering Earthen Peak. Watch out for the two Mounted Overseers. ### Stats ---

The door Mild Mannered Pate is next to can't be opened from that side so you need to take another route. Right after travelling to Central Earthen Peak bonfire, go out the door and take a left up the stairs. At the top of the stairs take a right through the doorway but be careful as there is a Manikin directly to your left. Kill the Manikin and run down the hallway in the opposite direction.

![]()### In-Game Description --- *A sorcery superior to Magic Weapon. Reinforces weapon in other hand with intense magic, allowing for infliction of heavy magic damage.* *The old purists of the Melfian Magic Academy view swordplay as a barbaric form of engagement.* ### Use --- Increases weapon's Magic damage by \[(Weapon's original Magic damage + 50) x 1.2\]. Duration depends on Intelligence. Based on some testing done and posted here, it is clear that the above formula is wrong. However, great magic weapon was not specifically tested.

Will maintain a degree of effectiveness later in the game depending on your available attunement slots but does get outshined by greater spells eventually.

![]()### In-Game Description --- *One of the sorceries developed by Straid, the great mage of ancient Olaphis. Fires thick, powerful soul arrows that seek their targets to the ends of the earth.* ### Use --- Similar to Homing Soul Arrow but more powerful and with a slower cast time. Fires a Soul Arrow that will lock on to it's target and track them in an attempt to connect. The projectile is slower than a regular soul arrow, but it can chase nimble enemies. Unfortunately it does very little damage. Base damage (before enemy resistance) is approximately : 58 + 0.85 \* catalysts magic attack. ### Availability --- Trade Straid of Olaphis the Ruin Sentinel Soul and 1,500 souls. ### Stats ---

### Notes --- - Some hints on the identifying the caster's weapon are their stance, their move-set and the motion blur lines which the weapon makes when it's swung (not too helpful, but they're there). The sound it makes on strike and when thrust or swung are also good tells.

![]()### In-Game Description --- *Soulbeads made more lethal with crystallisation.* *When fired, they home in on their target.* *Crystalization makes souls and sorceries all the* *more powerful.* ### Use --- Create more powerful crystal soulbeads above your head that will fly towards an opponent with great speed when the opponent is within a certain proximity. ### Availability --- Found in the Shrine of Amana in the area before the Demon of Song. From the Rhoy's Resting Place bonfire, exit the cave by following the path behind the Giant Acid Horn Beetle and progress until you are wading in water up to your waist.

### Notes --- - Both Homing Soul Arrow variants will only home in on the target that the caster has locked onto. Firing without a lock-on, called 'dumbfiring', will lead to the Homing Soul Arrow flying in a linear fashion, like a regular Soul Arrow. - The speed of both Homing Soul Arrows is different at certain times after firing. Homing Soul Arrows move slowly initially, but after traveling a certain distance, will gain speed and better chase the target. - When used against enemy players, the projectile has a staggering effect against targets that are hit and don't block. This can be used to effectively chain together other attacks, such as a Soul Spear with high enough casting speed.

![]()### In-Game Description --- *Multiple soul masses appear above the head. When fired, they home in on their target.

Wielding a sword and casting a sorcery are two different things, and some members the(sic) Melfian Magic Academy view these varieties of spells as impure.* ### Use --- Increases weapon's Magic damage by \[(Weapon's original Magic damage + 50) x 1.15\]. Duration depends on Intelligence. Based on some testing done and posted here, it is clear that the above formula is wrong. However, magic weapon was not specifically tested.

Will not repair broken gear. ### Availability --- #### Dark Souls II --- Found just past the Shrine of Winter. After you exit the shrine, head down the hill and take a right and follow the path to the end.

This includes armor, rings, any items in the opposing hand, and the catalyst itself. Any other equipment not currently in use (i.e. not in the left or right hand when casting) will not be repaired.

![]()### In-Game Description --- *Does not inflict damage, but unleashes a large shockwave, toppling opponents. Intended to stun opponents and make them vulnerable to attack. Some call this child's play, but for an innovative caster, it is a deadly tool.* ### Use --- Fire a slow moving ball of magical energy towards your target which knocks them back and/or to the ground upon impact. Has a fairly slow cast time and only hits a single target with no splash effect. ### Availability --- Sold by Carhillion of the Fold for 1,800 souls. ### Stats ---

### Notes --- - This is a very odd spell which is a bit misleading in its description. It sounds as though it will be an area effect attack but in fact it is just a single target spell. Although it is a bit impractical, it could have hilarious and possibly even useful applications in PvP and PvE like knocking opponents off of cliffs and the like. - Using Shockwave against different enemies yields different results, using Shockwave against Hollow Infantry will knock them down into a animation in which they **CANNOT** take damage in, however, using Shockwave against an Enhanced Undead will cause it to fall over, but damage **IS** able to be dealt to the enemy while it is downed. - While not damaging, this spell will take a substantial amount of stamina out of opponents who block it.

![]()### In-Game Description --- *An elementary sorcery.* *Fires a small soul arrow straight ahead.* *To use sorceries, attune a sorcery* *at a bonfire and equip a staff.* ### Use --- Basic sorcery spell. Fire a bolt of magical energy towards your target for a small amount of damage. Base damage (before enemy resistance) is approximately : 49 + 0.855 \* catalysts magic attack. ### Availability --- - Initial equipment for the Sorcerer class. - Sold by Merchant Hag Melentia for 1,500 souls. - Sold by Carhillion of the Fold for 1,500 souls. - Sold by Magerold of Lanafir for 1,500 souls. ### Stats ---

### Notes --- - This spell is just enough to get you through if you started as the Sorcerer class and should be replaced as soon as possible with Great Soul Arrow and other spells. Is extremely useful and has a good damage to # of casts ratio but does not hit hard enough to be very useful beyond the beginning of the game. - Soul Arrow has the fastest cast time of any Sorcery in Dark Souls 2 - ever so slightly faster than Great Soul Arrow.

![]()### In-Game Description --- *One of the sorceries devised by Straid, the great mage of ancient Olaphis. Straid started with an unwieldy spell that back-fired on its caster, and in time, perfected it.* ### Use --- Fires a beam of energy that hits the ground then travels forward. ### Availability --- After the Looking Glass Knight boss fight there is a room with a huge elevator. There is a chest in that room to the side of the elevator that contains Soul Bolt. ### Stats ---

### Notes --- - While Soul Bolt may seem underwhelming as it features an incredibly slow cast time, and no ability to track a target, Soul Bolt is able to do massive amounts of damage if the full beam of energy hits a single target. This is most noticeable against slower and larger targets, such as Ogres. If the entire stretch of the energy beam hits the target (only possible from close range), the damage output can rival Soul Geyser in some cases. - The most recent patch has it's casts-to-Attunement level modified (07/2014) current attunement / uses is correct (02/2015) - Has the same damage output as Soul Spear Barrage when target is hit by the entire duration beam.

### Notes --- - This spell's animation does not appear to match its description. There is no visible barrage of souls, it is more like an aura that explodes around the caster, hitting once; something like Wrath of the Gods, but much faster and weaker. Appears to be useful as a sort of panic button when attackers are approaching melee range, though at this point it has not been used/tested much at all. - The long casting time makes this ill suited for a "panic button", though it may be useful in conjunction with Soul Geyser as both have nearly identical casting animations. - Can knockdown enemy player when it directly hits. Need to test NPC enemies.

![]()### In-Game Description --- *A secret art unleashes a gush of souls. The homing soul mass pierces its target, then hits repeatedly for additional damage. This blasphemous spell is a family heirloom of Lord Aldia's. It was designed to pummel foes until it's power is entirely exhausted.* ### Use --- Fires mass of souls that immediately start homing toward a target. Upon hitting the target they break into smaller souls and hit multiple times. Can be absolutely devastating if it connects properly. Base damage (before enemy resistance) for each projectile is approximately : 1.3 \* catalyst's magic attack. ### Availability --- Found within Aldia's Keep, near the hidden Ritual Site bonfire. In the long hallway, there is a door on the left side. A corpse with Soul Geyser is behind a cage with two undead dogs. WARNING: Corpse lies in durability degrading water so it is best to lure the enemies out of the cage, then de-equip all armor and rings before entering the liquid. ### Stats ---

### Notes --- - Soul Geyser is able to deal ***massive*** damage against large enemies, such as Guardian Dragons, as if the initial soul mass hits the target correctly, it will fragment and hit the target multiple times before exiting the target. Against smaller enemies such as players, this isn't as relevant, but the damage done upon impact is still considerable. - This is the spell with the highest INT requirement in the game.

![]()### In-Game Description --- *A sorcery that attacks foes using a sword made, of souls. Energy is focused in a single point, and wielded as a sword with both hands. Use of this sorcery is not too dissimilar to swordplay, and so inherently endangers the caster.* ### Use --- Swing a heavy greatsword made of souls in front of the caster. ### Availability --- In Drangleic Castle, from the Central Drangleic Castle bonfire, go to the room with the elevator then go up the ladder and through the door into the room containing stone soldiers. Go through the door and you will find two chests. One contains a hammer and the other Soul Greatsword. ### Stats ---

![]()### In-Game Description --- *Hurls a huge soul mass which splits into smaller souls that rain from above. Requires real talent and is difficult to handle. Only works in certain places, and against certain foes.* ### Use --- Fires a large orb of souls into the air above that will split into small souls which rain down on enemies. ### Availability --- Trade Straid of Olaphis the Scorpioness Najka Soul and 1,500 souls. ### Stats ---

### Notes --- - The small soul missiles that Soul Shower emits from the initial soul orb have no innate tracking ability, therefore casting this spell without a lock on will cause the souls missiles to descend in a linear pattern. The soul missiles that are emitted will only have tracking when locked onto a target, and they will only track towards that singular target. - Casting Soul Shower in cramped spaces will prove of limited use as rather the initial soul orb will collide with the ceiling and not release the smaller soul missiles, or there wont be enough space for the soul missiles to expand from the orb and descend on the target. - Loses damage and range when spiced to low intelligence (need confirmation).

![]()### In-Game Description --- *Fires a flurry of soul spears. Inflicts high damage when multiple spears hit. A reworking of an ancient spell concocted at the Melfian Magic Academy. A simple idea, but potentially highly effective. When used properly, of course.* ### Use --- Fire a volley of soulbeads towards the target that have a slight horizontal spread. Multiple soulbeads can hit the same target in rapid succession. Due to this using the spell from a range is not recommended on single targets as most of the beads will miss, resulting in greatly reduced damage. ### Availability --- Sold by Carhillion of the Fold for 2,600 souls. ### Stats ---

### Notes --- - Spell has a fairly slow startup cast time and will leave the caster completely open while firing the Soul Spears. - While the damage done by each soulbead is underwhelming, if the full barrage hits a single target at close range, not only will it do a considerable amount of damage, but will also cause extremely high amounts of poise damage - causing even large opponents to stagger (e.g. Velstadt, the Royal Aegis) - If using Soul Spear Barrage in tandem with Binoculars, it is possible aim the barrage while firing. You will be able to cast the spell, then continue to aim the barrage as it fires from the staff to track your target while looking through the Binoculars - this is otherwise not possible in third person, unless locked onto a target (Soul Spear Barrage has poor tracking with lock-on, however). This is particularly useful in PvP, as it allows you to continue to fire at someone attempting to dodge roll. - Damage output is the same as Soul Bolt when all beads hit the target. (02/2015)

![]()### In-Game Description --- *Sorcery that fires souls shaped into a spear.* *Pierces enemies, causing heavy damage.* *This spell was said to have been devised* *by a master sorcerer, but his name is* *long forgotten.* ### Use --- Fire a large and powerful soul arrow that will pierce through multiple enemies dealing heavy damage. Base damage (before enemy resistance) is approximately : 395 + 1.8 \* catalysts magic attack. ### Availability --- - Found inside one of the dome shaped buildings in the Huntsman's Copse (drop down from the cliff above to access the structure). - Sold by Grave Warden Agdayne for 12,000 souls. ### Stats ---

### Notes --- - Headshots on most enemies do more damage (you can use Binoculars to make this easier). - Burning a bonfire ascetic at Bridge Approach - Huntsman's Copse will reset the Soul Spear in the dome shaped building. This can be done without killing an area boss, making them very easy to farm.

![]()### In-Game Description --- *One of the lost sorceries preserved only in the Undead Crypt. Fires successive homing souls. Extremely difficult sorcery to evade, making it very effective against frisky foes.* ### Use --- Fires a large slow moving soul orb with a swirling vortex of soul particles surrounding it that damage enemies. Has a very slow cast time. This spell can do heavy damage if it connects properly with the bulk of the damage coming from the large orb. ### Availability --- - Sold by Grave Warden Agdayne for 10,400 souls. - Found in the Pit in Majula. Requires the Forgotten Key from Black Gulch. Talk to Laddersmith Gilligan and ask him to drop a ladder for 12,000 souls. Take the long ladder and open the door with the Forgotten Key. Alternatively you can jump down on the wooden beams inside the well with reduced fall damage in order to get to this door which skips the need to pay 12,000 souls. - Found in lower Brightstone Cove Tseldora. Inside a room with a single Hollow Mage and Parasite Spider there are destructible items blocking a door. Behind them is a chest containing the sorcery scroll. ### Stats ---

### Notes --- - Soul Vortex works best when fired at rather a large group of enemies in close quarters, or a large singular target with no specific defense mechanisms (Demon Of Song and the Duke's Dear Freja are examples of poor targets for this spell, as damage needs to be done in specific areas, not just overall). - While the center of the vortex does significant damage, the repeated hits by the exterior swirling mass of souls also deal a lot of damage. As this is the case, it is best to aim the vortex to travel at around chest height to maximize hits by the swirling mass of souls, and not on a elevation or decline, unless necessary.

![]()### In-Game Description --- *Imbues off-hand shield with magic. Reinforce shield to absorb additional damage. Certain members of the Melfian Magic Academy scoff at these types of magic. The purists, in particular, are disdainful of anything vaguely linked to sword fighting.* ### Use --- Increases the physical, elemental and status effect resistance of your off-hand shield to 100% and gives 10% increased shield stability. Duration depends on Intelligence. Does not protect from the Petrify status effect. ### Availability --- - Sold by Straid of Olaphis for 6,300 souls. - Sold by Royal Sorcerer Navlaan for 6,300 souls. - Found in Drangleic Castle up the elevator near the Central Drangleic Castle bonfire. The spell is in a chest in the room with a Milfanito. ### Stats ---

Perhaps the name of this sorcery harkens to this irony.* ### Use --- Fires a projectile which creates a sound for a short time wherever it collides with a surface. Lasts for 10 seconds. Certain types of enemies will be lured towards the sound, allowing the player to be totally ignored by them. ### Availability --- Sold by Carhillion of the Fold for 3,000 souls. ### Stats ---
