Prophetic Flame incantations

Incantation originating from a sinister prophecy.

Throws a ball of raging fire.

Charging enhances potency and causes the ball of fire to explode.

The flame of ruin is anathema to the Erdtree. But prophets sometimes glimpse it within the faith all the same. Sadly when this occurs their sole reward is banishment.

Brother Corhyn's starting incantation shop

Roundtable Hold

Starting Site of Grace: Table of Lost Grace

Before you go

• Have 800 runes.
• Have access to Roundtable Hold.

1. Accept Melina's invitation to Roundtable Hold when she offers it at a grace. Once visited, the Hold can be selected at the bottom left of the map.
2. In the room with the large central table, speak to Brother Corhyn, the man in yellow robes standing against the wall. Choose his incantation shop.
3. Buy Flame Sling for 800 runes. This is part of his starting stock; no prayerbook or Goldmask quest progress is needed.
4. If he has already left for Altus, follow the road north from Altus Highway Junction to the map monument. He stands beside the road near that monument until you move his quest forward.
5. After purchasing, rest at a grace and use Memorize spell. Equip a sacred seal and meet both its requirements and the spell's requirements before casting.

Notes

• Requires 10 Faith and one memory slot. Cast with a sacred seal for 11 FP.
• Throws a Fire-damage projectile. Hold the cast input to charge it for more damage and a larger explosion, which can catch nearby enemies.
• A charged cast still costs 11 FP. It uses 29 stamina instead of 22 and takes longer to release, so leave room for the windup.
• Godfrey Icon improves the fully charged cast. Giant's Seal does not boost this particular fire spell, despite its connection to the flame of ruin.
• The projectile travels in an arc. When casting without a lock-on, adjust your aim for the target's height and the distance instead of expecting it to fly straight through obstacles.
• Its Fire damage uses the seal's Incantation Scaling. It does not add black flame's percentage-based HP drain; Black Flame is a different spell.
• Costs 800 runes from Corhyn. If he dies before you buy it, giving Corhyn's Bell Bearing to the Twin Maiden Husks makes this starting-stock spell available there for the same price.
