Using Incantations

-
Make sure the incantation you want to use is in your inventory. You can't cast a spell that you don't have. You can buy them from NPCs, find them in prayer books, or loot them from enemies!
- Incantations have varying ranges and effects, so take that into mind before casting a short-range spell when you intend to stand far away.
- You might want to level up your Faith and Mind stats first. Many spells have requirements that prevent classes not predisposed to magic from casting incants. However, Elden Ring is created in such a way that anyone can level any stat.
- Prophet and Confessor are the only classes that start with a Seal and incantations.
- Faith should aim for level 60 to deal maximum damage from incantations and Mind should be at level 40, to increase your Mana pool.
-
Equip them with your memory slots. Use Memory Stones to increase the amount of memory slots available to you. At Sites of Lost Grace, you'll be able to equip your incants.
- You can also save your game at Sites of Lost Grace .

Equip a Sacred Seal. You can find many Sacred Seals around Elden Ring! Buy them from vendors or get them as loot from bosses.
- Only Prophet and Confessor classes have a Sacred Seal when they start the game.
- Each Seal has pros and cons that you need to consider before using it. For example, the Gravel Stone Seal boosts Dragon Cult incantations, so it's not useful if you're not casting those spells.
-
Select the incantation and press the Attack button. Once you have a Sacred Seal equipped, you can use incants in battle! The buttons for this vary depending on your setup:
- For PC, press ↑ to select an incantation and click the left mouse button.
- For PS5, press the Left and Right buttons on the D-pad to cycle through your equipment and select the incantation you want to use, then press the right bumper to cast your spell.
- For Xbox, use the upper button on the D-pad to select an incantation and hit R1 to cast it. [1] X Research source

Getting a Seal

-
Go to Stormveil Castle. Use the Castleward Tunnel. You'll see it in the top northwest corner of Limgrave, which is the starting area.
- Use this method if you're trying to get an easy seal as a class other than Prophet or Confessor. You'll also need Torrent, your mount, for easier traveling.
-
Battle Margit. You don't need to win to proceed.
- After an encounter with Margit (win or lose), you'll be able to talk to Melina at any Site of Lost Grace.
-
Talk to Melina. She will tell you about the Roundtable Hold accessible at the bottom left corner of the map.
-
Go to the Roundtable Hold. You'll find a vendor (Brother Corhyn) there that sells incantations. You want to buy a seal, however, so continue.
-
Head left down a corridor and pass some bookshelves. There will be a small room with two mummified witches.
-
Talk to the mummified witches. They will sell you a simple Finger Seal for 800 runes.
- This is a good Seal for non-Confessors and non-Prophets to use since it has good scaling for lower-level Faith.
