How does magic work in Elden Ring? What’s the most powerful type of magic in lore?Why do sorceries lack spell crests?
>>687860392look at the mixed category, it's like mixed race like those people from south america who are mixed race.I bet they use mixed race spells too right?
>>687862383>people of color
>>687860392It’s all weird physics. Living physics. That of fractured life. Spells even behave like living things. We all come from stardust and we all return to the earth, in the end. The Laws of Causality and Convergence, respectively. The amber of the Erdtree is just residual life (glintstone) in another form, purposed through the roots as sap. The “amber of the cosmos” metaphor Sellen makes is apt, and sacrificed blood is seen to turn back into (red) glintstone.The most powerful magic, realistically, or pound for pound, is probbaly gravity stuff, or sorcery. It is absolutely obnoxious, and has massive effects, and can apparently take out entire civilizations. Rellana’s two moons could only take out a small village, and only by breaking its foundation stone; meanwhile Astels (malformed stars) had buried an entire culture underground. Eternal Darkness is also the apparent or root cause of the Eternal’s downfall, and draws in stars/life, including spells, which are, again, living things. When glintstone sorcerers say shit like “we study the stars and the life therein”, they’re being literal.In the end, sorceries and incantations are the same thing, and ironies are present in the game: Golden Order fundamentalism being intelligence driven, Aberrant blood sorceries being faith driven, those Spiral sorceries being used as incantations, etc. Or just Metyr’s staff, which can cast both incantations as well as sorceries. Definitions are also weird, as ‘sorcery’ is a pejorative, denoting dissent, or heresy, and the fact that the academics use it as a serious term, is odd. The sorcerers are also incantating sorceries, so ‘incantation’ is a bit lazy.And then you remember Corhyn: “That… is a work of heresy…”. So like, sorcery? Witchcraft? Even Sellen is called a ‘witch’ due to her apostate ways. Whatever. The Catholic Church had pretended their magic wasn’t magic as well. Ignorance is par for the course. So is irony.
>>687863536This shit will never not be funny to me.
>>687863702strength and dex are trade based.int and faith are college based.
>>687863702Sorcerers are all stupid transhumanists too.
>>687866119>faith tards>actually going to school>for anything other than bible study
>>687860392Probably primeval sorceries. Or those tied to the Erdtree like Black Blade.
>>687860392You kill dragonirians with the spells.
