Spells - Magic and Miracles

How to use Spells

+ How to use Spells

There are 2 types of spells in the game

• Miracles are "Cleric-like" spells, and require you use a Talisman of God to cast,
• Magic refers to "Wizard-like" spells, and they require you use a Catalyst to cast

To use a spell you must:

1. Learn the magic spell or miracle you wish to cast,
2. Remember the spell or miracle by visiting the trainer,
3. Equip either a Catalyst (for Magic) or Talisman (for Miracles) in your hand (in place of a weapon/shield) and then use [L1]/[R1] to "attack" with that hand, which will cast the currently selected spell. Later in the game you may aquire the Talisman of Beasts, which allows casting both Magic and Miracles.

The currently selected spell or miracle is displayed at the top of the equipment menu at the lower left hand corner of your screen. Press [Up] on the D-Pad to scroll through all remembered spells/miracles.

If casting fails to work, there are only a few reasons why:

• check that you have the required amount of MP to cast the spell (the middle blue bar),
• make sure that you have a valid target for the spell
  • weapon enhancement spells cannot be cast on a wooden weapon, or most weapons which already do magic or fire damage
  • most personal 'buffs' will not stack on yourself — only one can be active at a time (Anti-Magic Shield, One Time Revival, Water Veil, etc)

+ Where to get a Talisman of God

Where to get a Talisman of God:

• 4-1 (Shrine of Storms) treasure in front of the castle gates (just before the first fog) to the right, behind the tree
• 5-1 (Valley of Defilement) treasure, after killing the first 4 enemies, there is an alternate plank bridge across the chasm you can lower if you jump down where the Morning Star is. You will fight 2 more flaming brand enemies as you lower the plank, cross and then pick it up.
• 5-x purchase from Filthy Woman vendor in Valley of Defilement for 5000 souls
• Comes as starting equipment on some classes (Priest, Temple Knight)

+ Where to get a Catalyst

Where to get a Catalyst:

• 1-2 (Boletarian Palace) atop the first tower on the bridge (Wooden)
• 3-1 (Tower of Latria) Left side tower balcony above the boss area (Silver)
• 3-1 (Tower of Latria) purchased from Once Royal Mistress vendor for 1000 souls (Wooden)
• Comes as starting equipment with some classes (Royal(Silver), Magician(Wooden))
