Glintstone sorceries

The most basic glintstone sorcery of the Academy of Raya Lucaria.

The glintstone serves as a conduit, launching magical projectiles at foes.

This sorcery can be cast repeatedly and while in motion.

This is a universal first step on the journey to true knowledge of sorcery.

Astrologer starting equipment

1. Choose Astrologer when creating your character. This spell is included in that class's starting equipment. Other classes can obtain it through the purchase route.

Waypoint Ruins cellar

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Waypoint Ruins Cellar

Before you go

• Have 1,000 runes.
• Defeat Mad Pumpkin Head at Waypoint Ruins to reach Sellen.

1. Follow the road along the eastern side of Agheel Lake to Waypoint Ruins. The ruins are filled with poisonous flowers; look among the stone walls for the stairs into the cellar.
2. Go down and defeat Mad Pumpkin Head. His helmet blocks many frontal hits, so try to get around his side rather than repeatedly hitting the metal head.
3. Open the door at the back of the arena, speak to Sellen and agree to study sorcery. Her shop is here, rather than at her chained body in Witchbane Ruins.
4. Buy Glintstone Pebble for 1,000 runes. No scroll is required for this starting stock.

Church of Irith

Liurnia of the Lakes

Starting Site of Grace: Lake-Facing Cliffs

Before you go

• Have 1,000 runes.
• Buy before giving Thops the spare Academy Glintstone Key and sending him to the academy.

1. Reach southern Liurnia through Stormveil Castle or the cliff path around its eastern side. From Lake-Facing Cliffs, head southwest to the small ruined Church of Irith.
2. Speak to Thops inside and open his shop. Buy Glintstone Pebble for 1,000 runes before giving him the spare Academy Glintstone Key, which sends him to the academy.

Cathedral of Manus Metyr

Scadu Altus

Starting Site of Grace: Cathedral of Manus Metyr

Before you go

• To enter the Realm of Shadow, defeat Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, then touch the withered arm in Mohg's arena at Mohgwyn Palace.

1. From Highroad Cross in Scadu Altus, follow the road east to Moorth Ruins and activate the grace beside the cross.
2. Pass through the large stone arch east-southeast of the grace. At the house ahead, turn left toward the leaning tower. Avoid the large open shaft behind the house, which is too deep for a direct drop.
3. Find the smaller gap between the broken building and the rock wall in front of the leaning tower. Drop onto the balcony-like ledge, turn right past the dogs and follow the cave inward.
4. In the open chamber at the end, take the back-left ledges down onto the lower roof. Look for the small shrine guarded by three Inquisitors and collect Golden Arcs from the chest inside.
5. To continue east, drop from the lower roof to the ground and take the cave beside the building on the left. Follow it to the long ladder and climb out of the well at Bonny Village grace.
6. Go east through Bonny Village, watching for the large cleaver-wielding villagers, and cross the two suspension bridges. The second brings you to Bridge Leading to the Village grace.
7. Follow the road north through the woods and around its bend to Church District Highroad grace. The northern road continues toward Shadow Keep; your destination is the cathedral south of this junction.
8. Follow the road south through the woods to the large cathedral in the lake. Enter through its main doors and activate Cathedral of Manus Metyr grace.
9. Speak to Count Ymir on the throne and accept his guidance. He gives you the Hole-Laden Necklace and first Ruins Map. You do not need to buy a spell to receive them.
10. Open Ymir's initial sorcery shop and buy Glintstone Pebble for 1,000 runes. Ringing the first finger-ruins bell is unnecessary for this starting spell.

Twin Maiden Husks after Thops's death

Roundtable Hold

Starting Site of Grace: Table of Lost Grace

Before you go

• Obtain Thops's Bell Bearing.

1. If Thops has returned to the academy, find his body beside Schoolhouse Classroom and collect his bell bearing.
2. Offer it to the Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold and open his transferred shop. Buy the unpurchased Glintstone Pebble for 1,000 runes.

Notes

• Requires 10 Intelligence and one memory slot. Cast with a glintstone staff for seven FP per shot before equipment that changes casting costs.
• Fires one Magic projectile and can be repeated while moving. It cannot be charged, so Godfrey Icon does not improve it.
• Damage uses the casting staff's Sorcery Scaling. Intelligence improves ordinary Intelligence-scaling staves; a hybrid staff can also use its other supported casting attributes.
• Its low FP cost is useful when a small shot already kills the target. A stronger projectile can deal more damage per cast without being the cheaper option for every weak enemy.
• It strikes one target rather than sweeping through a line like Glintstone Arc. Keep a clear path and remain within the projectile's reach.
• The Ash of War with the same name is separate. This sorcery has no follow-up weapon thrust and does not use the weapon's affinity as its casting scaling.
• Astrologer starts with it. Sellen, Thops and Ymir each provide a 1,000-rune purchase, and no scroll is needed for their initial stock.
• After Thops dies, his bell bearing transfers his remaining spells to the Twin Maiden Husks. This preserves the purchase route without teaching the spell automatically or requiring another starting class.
