Glintstone sorceries

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

Imbues the ferrule of the caster's staff with magic, then thrusts it into the ground to create a magical shockwave.

Allows one follow-up attack.

A Stonedigger sorcery used by the glintstone miners of the crystal tunnel. At the academy, use of this sorcery was a stigma that marked out failed scholars.

Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel

Liurnia of the Lakes

Starting Site of Grace: Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel

1. Stay at lake level on the northeastern side of Liurnia and find the mine entrance in the cliff near the Walking Mausoleum. Take the entrance lift down and activate the grace.
2. In the first working area, the chest up the right-hand steps is optional. Take the other passage onward to the larger mining chamber and continue through to the room with a staircase in its middle.
3. Use the next lift to descend. Cross the narrow beam at the bottom, clearing the miners that could knock you off before you step onto it.
4. Follow the passage through the wooden enclosures guarded by Marionettes. The Crystal Knife chest is optional; the route continues past these rooms and down another staircase.
5. Beyond the Marionette section, reach the dark mining chamber before the final boss lift. Look north beneath the wooden platforms for the short dead-end tunnel.
6. Loot the corpse in that side passage for Shatter Earth. Do not take the final lift expecting it to be a boss reward; the Crystalian does not need to be defeated.

Notes

• Requires 15 Intelligence, one memory slot and a glintstone staff. The first ground strike costs 10 FP; pressing the cast again for its one follow-up costs another 10 FP.
• Slams the staff into the ground to make a close-range magical shockwave. The follow-up is stronger, but you must stay in range and commit to another attack to land it.
• It deals Magic damage through the casting staff's Sorcery Scaling. Despite the ground-smashing animation, it is not Physical Strike damage and does not use the staff's melee attack rating.
• Digger's Staff provides a 20% Stonedigger-sorcery bonus while held, even if the other hand's staff casts it. Two active copies give a combined 44% bonus.
• Graven talismans and Magic damage bonuses work. There is no charged version for Godfrey Icon to improve; the second input is a follow-up, not a charged release.
• The attack resists interruption and can hit several enemies close around you. That helps against smaller groups, but it does not make you invulnerable while the staff comes down.
• Rock Blaster is the sustained drill version with a different FP cost and a held movement phase. This spell gives two deliberate ground strikes instead of an indefinitely held drill.
• The pickup is inside Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel, not Raya Lucaria Academy. An Academy Glintstone Key and a victory over the tunnel boss are unnecessary.
