Sorceries are a type of Magic in Elden Ring. Sorcery Spells are often dependent on the Intelligence stat, and have a variety of effects from magic projectiles to calling down meteors and even blood magic. Sorceries are cast using a Staff or similar catalyst. Sorceries have a trainer that allows you to purchase most of these spells for Runes, allowing you to acquire most of these rather quickly. You need only find Sorceress Sellen in the Waypoint Ruins and agree to let her train you in order to do so.
You can hold the cast button (R1) to charge a sorcery and release a more powerful version without consuming more resources. This will delay casting time but there are several staves, talismans and headgear that can assist with your cast time and FP consumption.
If you are a mage, remember you will consume Stamina when casting as well, so invest some points into Endurance. See our Builds for ideas on how to optimize your character.
SORCERIES TRAINERS
Most Sorceries can be acquired from different NPCs that act as Trainers and sell you Sorcery Spells. Here is a list with all Sorcery Trainers in Elden Ring
- Thops: Can be found at Church of Irith in Liurnia of the Lakes
- Sorceress Sellen: Can be found standing by a treasure chest within the Waypoint Ruins dwelling in the eastern part of West Limgrave
- Rogier: Can be found in the Stormveil Castle, next to an altar that has a body on. (Sells intelligence-based Ashes of War only)
- Gowry: Can be found in Gowry's Shack, south of Sellia, Town of Sorcery. Becomes a merchant after retrieving the Unalloyed Gold Needle for the Millicent quest.
- Miriel, Pastor of Vows: Can be found at the Church of Vows
- Preceptor Seluvis: After meeting him in spectral form in Ranni's Rise, he can be found in Seluvis's Rise
BEST SORCERIES IN ELDEN RING
Please be aware that this list is a matter of opinion. While some spells are certainly better than others, this list is prone to subjective bias.
- Glintstone Stars
- Glintstone Pebble
- Carian Piercer
- Glintstone Arc
- Oracle Bubbles
- Briars of Sin
- Meteorite
- Rock Sling
Comet Azur and Rennala's Full Moon will substantially damage all foes, but have very high Intelligence and Memory slots requirements.
