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 Scholar's Armament for 3,000 runes. No scroll is required for this starting stock.

Notes

• Requires 12 Intelligence and one memory slot. Cast with a glintstone staff; each cast costs 25 FP before equipment that changes casting costs.
• Adds Magic attack power to an eligible right-hand weapon for 90 seconds. Put the staff in your left hand and the weapon in your right before casting.
• The added attack power is 75% of the staff's Intelligence-based Sorcery Scaling. Faith or Arcane contributions from a hybrid staff do not strengthen this enchantment, even when they increase its displayed total scaling.
• For example, 200 usable Sorcery Scaling gives 150 added Magic attack power before the target's defenses. That is added attack power, rather than a guaranteed 150 extra HP damage on every hit.
• The weapon and affinity must allow enchantments. Standard, Heavy, Keen and Quality are the usual choices on compatible weapons; choosing Magic affinity generally prevents this additional enchantment.
• It does not stack with grease or another enchantment on the same weapon. Putting the weapon away or replacing its buff removes the effect.
• Old Lord's Talisman extends the ordinary duration to 117 seconds. Sorcery damage talismans do not increase the enchantment just because it is cast as a sorcery.
• You can remove the casting staff afterward while keeping the enchanted weapon active. A staff with high Intelligence-based scaling is useful here, rather than the highest combined hybrid number alone.
• If the teacher dies after this spell is available in their shop, their bell bearing preserves the unpurchased stock at the Twin Maiden Husks. You do not need to kill a teacher to buy the spell.
