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
