Effects

A talisman depicting the first school of graven mages—a nightmare that would continue to haunt the academy.

Greatly raises potency of sorceries.

The primeval current is a forbidden tradition of glintstone sorcery. To those who cleave to its teachings, the act of collecting sorcerers to fashion them into the seeds of stars is but another path of scientific inquiry.

Albinauric Rise chest

Consecrated Snowfield

Starting Site of Grace: Inner Consecrated Snowfield

Before you go

• Reach the Consecrated Snowfield.
• Fanged Imp Ashes or a Bewitching Branch.

1. Obtain the right half from Albus, disguised as a pot uphill from Village of the Albinaurics grace beneath Liurnia's western plateau. Obtain the left half from the tower rooftop beyond Commander Niall at Castle Sol.
2. Return to the Grand Lift of Rold, stand at the medallion prompt and switch actions to Hoist secret medallion. The ordinary Hoist medallion action leads to a different region.
3. In Hidden Path to the Haligtree, follow the main corridor and take the steps on the left up through the Militia and Land Octopus enemies. Stay on the normal walkway; dropping through the broken railing starts an optional lower dungeon.
4. Activate Hidden Path to the Haligtree grace near the exit and continue outside. The lower Stray Mimic Tear boss is unnecessary for the snowfield.
5. Travel north through the blizzard, following the road and its lights rather than riding toward the cliff edges. Activate Consecrated Snowfield and continue toward Inner Consecrated Snowfield as visibility improves.
6. From Inner Consecrated Snowfield grace, ride east across the snowy ground, staying on the southern side of the frozen river. Continue northeast past the group of stone faces near the cookbook corpse to Albinauric Rise on the eastern high ground.
7. Look for the statue of two fighting imps beside the sealed entrance. Go around the tower to find the hostile spectral imps, then summon Fanged Imp Ashes while the spirit summoning icon is available.
8. Let your summoned imps fight a hostile imp and finish it off. You can weaken the enemy yourself, but leaving the final hit to an allied imp is a straightforward way to satisfy the puzzle.
9. Alternatively, use a Bewitching Branch on one hostile imp and draw another close enough for them to fight. Simply killing every imp yourself does not satisfy the fighting-imp puzzle.
10. Once the seal disappears, enter the tower, climb the ladder and follow the stairs to the top. Open the chest for Graven-Mass Talisman.

Notes

• Increases damage from eligible sorceries by 8%. The bonus is not limited to magic damage, so damaging sorceries with other damage types can also benefit.
• Does not increase the strength of ordinary weapon enchantments, other support buffs or status buildup. It also does not increase incantation damage.
• Can be equipped with Graven-School Talisman. Their 8% and 4% bonuses multiply to give 12.32% more sorcery damage.
• The bonus is not tied to a particular staff or scaling attribute. An eligible sorcery can benefit when cast with a hybrid-scaling staff as well.
• It is one of the legendary talismans. Opening Albinauric Rise requires the imp-fighting puzzle, rather than simply defeating every imp yourself.
