All Incantations in Elden Ring

How do you use Incantations in Elden Ring?

Using Incantations in Elden Ring is extremely simple. To begin, you need an Incantation you can cast, and in order to cast it you will need a Sacred Seal. These are basically catalysts that allow you to use magic in Elden Ring.

  • To use an Incantation in Elden Ring, you will need to equip an item called a Sacred Seal. While multiple Sacred Seals can be acquired throughout your journey in the Lands Between, the easiest way to get one is to either begin the game as a Prophet or Confessor or to buy one from the Twin Maiden husks at the Roundtable Hold. 
  • Aside from Sacred Seals, you must have Incantations in their inventory to equip. Incantations can be found throughout Elden Ring and are bought from multiple vendors, such as Brother Corhyn at the Roundtable Hold. To equip an Incantation, rest at a Site of Grace, head to ‘memorise spell’, and equip the incantations you want.
  • Once these steps are complete, equip your Sacred Seal in your left or right hand, equip the Incantation by pressing the up button on your D-Pad, and press L1 or R1 (depending on which hand has the Sacred Seal equipped) to cast the Incantation. 
  • Every Incantation will have some faith requirement; the higher the faith requirement of an Incantation, the more powerful it will be. 
  • Only a limited amount of Incantations can be equipped at one time. This amount depends on the number of Memory slots you have. These slots can be discovered throughout the game world, and increase the number of Incantations you can carry. 

So long as you have the stat requirements, you can cast any Incantation.
