Glintstone Pebble

TheGlintstone Pebbleis a surprisingly effective Sorcery, given how early you can acquire it in Elden Ring. In fact, some players have reported using it throughout the game, all the way to the end. This Sorcery comes with the Astrologer startingclassand can also be purchased from various NPCs for a low Rune cost (1,000 Runes).
The key to this Sorcery is the low FP cost and quick casting time which allows you to essentially spam the attack and use it as a melee spell. When cast, beams of magic will arc out of your Staff and hit targets. The Sorcery has solid range and attack power which was further buffed with the1.07 Elden Ring patch.
Although there are many Glintstone Sorceries to choose from in Elden Ring and the Glintstone Pebble isn’t the most exctiing at first, the range, low FP cost and usability of the spell are fantastic, especially for early playthroughs.
For your choice of Staff, unfortunately, there aren’t any in the game that specifically bolster Glintstone Sorceries. For this reason, the best choice is theMeteorite Staffdue to its high scaling with Intelligence and relatively easy access in the earlier stages of the game via a teleporter trap in Limgrave ( located within the ruins north of the Seaside RuinsSite Of Grace).
How to get the Glintstone Pebble
As mentioned above, the Glintstone Pebble is one of the starting Sorceries with the Astrologer Class. Otherwise, you can purchase the spell from Thops at the Church of Irith or the Sorceress Sellen at the Waypoint Runs in Limgrave for 1,000Runes.
Adula’s Moonblade
The Frost build-up capabilities of Adula’s Moonblade make it a contender on this list. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/From Software
Adula’s Moonbladeis an Elden Ring fan-favourite due to its high damage output and surprising speed. The spell essentially summons a large greatsword made from frost that swipes and sends forth an icy projectile that inflictsFrost build-up. The initial swing inflicts 90 Frost whereas the subsequent projectile can cause 35 Frost build-up.
For an additional boost, pair this with theCarian Glintstone Staff, which gives a 15% increase in effectiveness for sword Sorceries like Adula’s Moonblade. You should get this boost even if you don’t meet the requirements for it or if you place it in your off-hand. This means you can use a better scaling staff in your main hand at the same time and still receive the +15% benefit.
How to get Adula’s Moonblade
Adula’s Moonblade is dropped after defeating theGlintstone Dragon Adulaat the Cathedral of Manus Celes at the Moonlight Altar. The only way to uncover this region of Elden Ring is to followRanni’s questlineto fruition.
Stars of Ruin
The Stars of Ruin can target foes that would otherwise dodge spell attacks. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/From Software
TheStars of RuinSorcery has a heftyIntelligenceprice but is well worth the grind if you’re looking to create a solid Sorcerer build. The spell creates 12 shooting stars that dart towards targets and deliver magic damage.
The brilliant thing about this Sorcery is that the stars willactively target foesand can hit even those that dart or dodge out of the way. This is especially important for the tricker bosses with dodge movesets likeMalenia.
Although the tracking capabilities were somewhat nerfed with the1.06 patch, it remains a powerful spell and can be especially powerful in PvE. As there isn’t a specific Staff that bolsters Primeval Sorcery, we recommend bolstering your build with a Staff that scales well with Intelligence.Lusat’s Glintstone Staffis the best for this and can reach an S grade in Intelligence when upgraded.
How to get the Stars of Ruin
The Stars of Ruin can be picked up fromMaster Lusatinside the Sellia Hideaway northeast of Sellia Town in Caelid. To access the area, you’ll need to progress through Sellen’squestlinesubstantially.
Comet Azur
The Comet Azur is also featured as a Weapon Skill on the Sword of Night and Flame. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/From Software
Essentially, if the spell hits, it will flatten targets but it requires good timing to pull off. Due to this and the higher FP cost, it is best used at a distance and combined with another Sorcery or weapon as a backup for close encounters.
For brave players willing to sacrifice high risk for high reward it can be an absolute powerhouse of a spell. We recommend pairing it withLusat’s Glintstone Stafffor a potential S grade scaling with Intelligence.
How to get the Comet Azur
The Comet Azur spell is retrieved fromPrimeval Sorcerer Azurwithin the Hermit Village in Mt Gelmir (southeast ofVolcano Manor). He’ll be sitting stationary at a cliff edge and finding him is part of the Sellen questline.
Rock Sling
The Rock Sling and Meteorite Staff are a killer combo for any early Sorcery playthroughs. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/From Software
Rock Sling itself can summon three meteorites from the ground and throw them towards enemies for both physical damage and29 stance damage. The cast speed is average and has a relatively low FP cost.
Together, these two factors can carry you through the earlier sections of the game and have become something of a staple in the Elden Ring community.
How to get the Rock Sling
The Rock Sling Sorcery is located within a chest, in a cellarnorth of the Street of Sages Ruinsin Caelid. There is a shortcut to get to this area of Caelid, however, meaning you can actually pick up the spell much earlier (just make sure you evade most of the enemies on the way to the spell as these will likely be past your current level).
Travel to the flooded ruins directly north of the Seaside Ruins Site Of Grace in Limgrave. This is usually south of the Flying Dragon Agheel boss. Amongst the stone ruins in this area, there will be a set of stairs leading downward. Travel down them and open the chest behind the back wall to get transported to Sellia Crystal Tunnel in Caelid.
From here, evade the enemies in the cave and travel down, through the southward passageway. Continue forward, past the Site Of Grace and leave the cave. Now, travel southwest towards the Street of Sages Ruins. Once you get to the ruins, turn northwest towards another downward flight of stairs which lead into a tunnel.
The Rock Sling Sorcery is located inside a chest within the tunnel.
Carian Slicer
The Carian Slicer is cheap to cast and fast enough to be a solid melee spell armament choice. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/From Software
TheCarian Sliceris another magical armament like Adula’s Moonblade. It also summons a magic blade but this one does not inflict Frost build-up and has a much shorter range. The bonus to this Sorcery, however, is it has an incredibly low FP cost and is also very quick to cast.
If you would rather have something with further range at a cost to speed, you can try out some of the other Carian Sorceries, like the Carian Greatsword which is also effective.
How to get the Carian Slicer
You can buy the Carian Slicer Sorcery for 1,500 Runes from any of the Sorcery-selling NPCs (like Miriel, Sellen or Seluvis) after giving them theRoyal House Scroll. To get the Scroll, travel to the Agheel Lake South Site Of Grace in southern Limgrave and walk east until you come across an encampment of enemies. There will be a few large rocks in which mage enemies will fire spells at you. Climb atop the east-facing ruin and loot the body next to the mage enemy for the scroll.
Night Comet
The Night Comet is one of the few invisible spells in Elden Ring. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/From Software
TheNight Cometis like the Comet Azur’s stealthy rogue cousin. With this spell, you can sling a magic comet at enemies which is semi-invisible. This means that unlike the Comet Azur, enemies won’t dodge the spell. This is especially handy in fights against enemies like Malenia who are notorious for their dodge moves.
When paired with theStaff of Loss, you can recieve a +30% buff to the spell’s effectiveness in combat along with any other invisibility sorceries. The Night Comet can be charged for a stronger attack also and has a substantial range.
The spell can also be chain-cast and can be cast a lot quicker than other charged spells. Unfortunately, or pehaps thankfully, the invisibility aspect does not carry over to PvE, so opposing players should be able to dodge the cast.
How to get the Night Comet
The Night Comet Sorcery is located within a chest in the centre of Sellia, Town of Sorcery in eastern Caelid. The chest is behind a magical barrier which you’ll have to break first. To do so, use Torrent to climb atop the buildings in the town and light two stone beacons above. One beakon is located atop the tallest building northwest and the other southwest.
