If the spell has a red X in the upper right corner, it means you don't have the right stats to cast the spell.🇧🇷 For example, the triple rings of light require 23 levels of intelligence and 23 levels of faith.

This is also worth mentioningSome spells take up more than one space🇧🇷 Powerful spells like Azure Comet take up 3 slots. So if you want to have some spells equipped, look for ways to level up your memory stones.

Where to collect memorial stones

Unlike previous Souls games, the way you level up your spells is a bit different.In Elden Ring, all classes in the game start with two memory slots (spell slots).🇧🇷 If you want to create a strong magic user, you need more spell slots and you need to get Nokstella's moon talisman, which increases slots by two.

How to Cast Charms and Sorcery

Once you've equipped the spells you want to cast, the next thing you'll need is a spell tool to use them.All magic needs a staff.These included the Royal Carian Scepter, Glintstone Staff, and Meteor Staff, but there are 16 in total that can be used in the game.

To cast enchantments, you must equip a Holy Seal🇧🇷 There are far fewer stealths in the game, but these include the finger stealth, claw mark stealth, and dragon communion stealth. There are nine Holy Seals in total in the game.

surveillance: Check the description of each spell tool, as some give bonuses depending on the type of spell used. The Staff of the Prince of Death grants a bonus to kill spells like Wrath of the Ancients or Exploding Ghostflame.

The basic Finger Sigil can be purchased from the Gemini Maiden Husks in the Roundtable, while the basic Astrologer Staff can be purchased from the Nomad Trader in Liurnia of the Lakes.

When you find the perfect staff or holy seal,Equip it to the left or right slot and use the usual attack button to cast spells.Some spells can be charged or the attack button can be pressed to make the spell last longer.

What you should know when casting spells

When you cast your first spell in Elden Ring there are a few things to keep in mind as it is a bit different than normal weapons. The first thingWhat you have to take into account is the casting speed of many very powerful spells.You can seem like a long time in a fight. The full moon is a great spell, but it makes you an easy target.

in second placeSome enemies are very resistant to magic damage., so when you memorize spells, try to have some variety in the type of damage dealt. Equipping only Magma spells can be fun until you find enemies that are resistant to fire.

Finally,Keep in mind that some of your spells in Elden Ring will damage you🇧🇷 The cold mist from Night Maiden's Mist will slowly drain your health when you are in its area of ​​effect.

Why don't the spells work?

If you've successfully equipped a spell and hit an attack in battle only to find out nothing happened, there may be a few reasons why you can't cast spells.

• You have staves equipped when you need Holy Seals and vice versa.Casting spells is fun and you can equip a combination of enchantments and sorceries, but you need to make sure you select the right tool for the spell. On the plus side, they're usually pretty lightweight, so you can keep one in each hand if you need to.
• You do not meet the stat requirement for the spell.🇧🇷 Each spell has requirements that you must meet in order to cast it. For basic sorceries and enchantments, you generally need an Intelligence or Faith between 10 and 15. Some of the stronger spells require 60+ to cast (you can always do that).respect your stats).
• You don't have enough FP.If you've put all your points into Intelligence or Faith and you still can't cast your spell, it probably means you don't have any FP available. If that's the case, you'll need to expand your mind by using a vial of FP-boosting Wondrous Physick or an FP-boosting talisman. (It's worth being aware of the various softcaps that have stats instead ofdump points).
