The magic world ofElden Ringwould feel empty withoutspells and incantations. It’s thanks to them that journeying through The Lands Between is not only fun, but also less daunting. From healing incantations that can substitute empty Flasks of Crimson Tears, to devastating dragon magic that can control the force of the heavens, there’s no shortage of options for a faithful Tarnished.
That said, even with all the variety in the game, only players willing to dedicate their time, effort, and hard-earned Runes tomaximize their Faith skillswill be able to access this world’s deepest magic secrets. Thesespells require the highest Faith Stats inElden Ringfor the Tarnished to wield.

Once an unbeatable foe,Ancient Dragon Lansseaxis now well past her prime. However, that doesn’t mean she can’t pose a challenge anymore. With an unmatched mastery of lightning and swift claw sweeps, this winged beast can still devour large armies, ending the Tarnished’s quest. However, if players manage to muster up the courage toface and defeat her, they’ll receive the Lansseax’s Glaive Incantation.
Ancient Dragon Lansseax can be found by heading up the hill right next to the Abandoned Coffin Site of Grace. Once players reach that location, she will fly down and the battle will begin. Lansseax is weak to Piercing damage, so players struggling to defeat her should devise a strategy based on that fact.

Fire Incantations inElden Ringalways pack a huge punch. They can be a great tool of offense when facing several enemies at once, or even a single strong one that’s weak to this element. This is why the Flame of the Fell God Incantation is so great, as it not only deals fire damage, but alsoexplodes on contact, covering a wide area. Players looking for this spell can obtain it bydefeating Adan, Thief of Firein Liurnia of the Lakes.
Players who have already completed the game will find this spell familiar, as it’s the same one that theFire Giantuses during the boss fight at the Flame Peak in the Mountaintops of the Giants area. While using the Flame of the Fell God, players must keep an eye on their FP bar, as it can quickly run out due to the spell’s 34 FP cost.

One of the worst things that can happen to any Tarnished while traversing the world ofElden Ringis running out ofFlasks of Crimson Tears. If this happens, they’re left without the possibility of healing until the next Site of Grace. Luckily, spells such as Erdtree Heal can save the day andprovide additional healing opportunitiesin the most dire of situations.
Players who want to get this helpful Erdtree Incantation will first have to ignite the Forge of the Giants and defeat Maliketh, Black Blade of Death in Crumbling Farum Azula. Upon emerging victorious, they can return to Leyndell. The Royal Capital will now be in ruins and covered in ash, and the Erdree Heal Incantation will be in the Queen’s Bedchamber.

A little-known fact aboutElden Ring’sancient dragon loreis that Fortissax and Lansseax are siblings, with the former being the more powerful brother of the latter. As such, it stands to reason that, upon defeat, Fortissax yields a more devastating spell than Lansseax’s Glaive: Fortissax’s Lightning Spear.
This powerful Dragon Cult Incantationproduces two massive red lightning bolts that users can slam into the ground,dealing absurd amounts of damage to surrounding enemies. To face Fortissax, players will have to follow and complete Fia’s questline (so killing her is a no-no). Once the dragon has been slain, take the Remembrance of the Lichdragon to Finger Reader Enia, who, in exchange, will surrender this mighty spell.

Lichdragon Fortissaxis such a formidable enemy that defeating him yields more than one reward. Similar to Fortissax’s Lightning Spear, the Death Lightning Incantation can also be obtained by giving Finger Reader Enia theRemembrance of the Lichdragon. However, since said Remembrance can only be used once per run, players will have to choose one over the other.
As opposed to Fortissax’s Lightning Spear, Death Lightningstrikes surrounding enemies with a powerful yellow storm.This spell requires a whopping 47 Faith Stat and has an FP cost of 28, which is quite low considering how devastating it is compared to weaker spells that demand higher FP expenditure.

Few spells inElden Ringare as beautiful and lethal as Elden Stars. Players who have already beaten the game will probably recognize this Incantation from thefinal boss fight against the Elden Beast. Like every other boss ability that players can imitate, this version is considerably weaker than the boss'. However, it still packs a huge punch, and can be great for pestering and distracting enemies.
The Elden Stars Erdtree Incantation can be found in the Deeproot Depths, west of the Great Waterfall Crest Site of Grace. It has a medium-high cost of 41 FP and a staggering Faith Requirement of 50. Players will need to spend millions of Runes and have plenty of Flasks of Cerulean Tears to use this spell frequently.
