Glintstone sorceries

One of the glintstone sorceries of the Academy of Raya Lucaria.

A sorcery of the Olivinus Conspectus, which attracts sorcerers from Sellia, Town of Sorcery.

Waypoint Ruins cellar

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Waypoint Ruins Cellar

Before you go

• Have 3,000 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 Stars for 3,000 runes. No scroll is required. If Sellen dies, her bearing preserves the unpurchased stock at the Twin Maiden Husks.

Gowry's Shack

Caelid

Starting Site of Grace: Sellia Under-Stair

Before you go

• Have 3,000 runes.
• Complete the early Unalloyed Gold Needle handovers to Gowry and Millicent, then return to Gowry; finish Millicent's shack dialogue and reload if she is visiting.

1. From Southern Aeonia Swamp Bank, follow the road north through Sellia Gateway. Watch for the giant throwing rocks above the gateway. Gowry's wooden shack is off the road on the right, before the town.
2. Speak to Gowry and agree to help Millicent. Keep the large dog away from the shack so its attacks do not interrupt the conversation.
3. Go west into the Swamp of Aeonia toward the clearing enclosed by large pale branches. Activate Inner Aeonia nearby and defeat Commander O'Neil in the Heart of Aeonia for the broken Unalloyed Gold Needle.
4. Return the needle to Gowry and finish his dialogue. He gives Sellia's Secret and needs time to repair the needle. Rest or reload, then speak to him again for the repaired version.
5. From Southern Aeonia Swamp Bank, follow the road north through Sellia Gateway. Watch for the giant throwing rocks above the gateway. Gowry's wooden shack is off the road on the right, before the town.
6. Continue north into Sellia, Town of Sorcery. Activate Sellia Under-Stair on the southwestern edge and follow the main street north, watching for sorcerers appearing beside the buildings.
7. Climb the stairs at the far end toward the golden sapling and the sealed upper gate. The large roots beside these steps provide the way onto the roofs.
8. Near the sapling, look southwest through the broken railing for a root leading toward the nearest candle tower. Follow it, climb the tower ladder and interact with the flame at the top.
9. Return to the upper steps and use the root again, this time stepping onto the adjoining roofs. Work south and east across the roofs and branches toward the eastern tower. Use Torrent's double jump for the gaps and climb the ladder to light its flame.
10. From that eastern roof route, head back across the connecting roots and roofs toward the southern tower on the western side. The narrow approach has a corpse with a Stonesword Key. Climb the ladder and light the third flame.
11. All three flames remove the town's different blue barriers. Return to ground level to collect the particular reward you came for; lighting the towers does not automatically put the chest items in your inventory.
12. Take the now-open upper gate beside the golden sapling to Sellia Backstreets grace. Follow the uphill road beyond town, watching for the rolling boulders and the enemies on the bends.
13. At the top, go to Church of the Plague on the eastern cliff. Watch for the two Kindred of Rot outside, enter through the broken wall and activate the grace.
14. Give Millicent the repaired needle. Rest and speak to her again. Return to Gowry's Shack to open his sorcery shop; if Millicent is visiting the shack instead, finish her dialogue and reload so Gowry returns.
15. Open Gowry's shop and buy Glintstone Stars for 3,000 runes. Sellen's shop remains a separate early purchase option.

Notes

• Requires 12 Intelligence, one memory slot and a staff. Costs 12 FP and fires three tracking stars that deal Magic damage.
• Charge the cast to strengthen the stars without raising the FP cost. Godfrey Icon can boost the charged version.
• The three projectiles track separately. This helps against moving targets, but a wall, sudden movement or a dodge can still waste part of the volley.
• Damage comes from the casting staff's Sorcery Scaling. The stars do not all deal an identical hit, so the total depends on which projectiles actually connect.
• Lusat's Glintstone Crown boosts this spell's damage by 10%, with its separate 15% sorcery-FP penalty. The crown is different from Lusat's Glintstone Staff, which has its own scaling and FP tradeoff.
• Carian Glintblade Staff and Meteorite Staff do not boost this spell's school. Shooting stars are not the same sorcery group as glintblades or gravity attacks.
• You can walk while casting and use repeated casts when there is room. It costs more than Glintstone Pebble, so its tracking is most useful when the cheaper single shot would struggle to connect.
• Sellen and Gowry each sell it for 3,000 runes. Sellen has it as starting stock; Gowry needs the early needle quest and shop handovers.
