How to use spells & magic

Before you can use any spell, you’ll need an appropriate item. Miracles can only be used by equipping Talismans or Chimes; for Sorcery, you’ll need Staff or Catalyst, and Pyromancies can be cast by equipping Flames.

  • At a Bonfire choose Attune Spell
  • Put a Talisman/Chimes or Staff/Catalyst in your off hand
  • Put your spell in the top (up) active slot.
  • Cast the spell with L1
  • Cast the Talisman/Chimes or Staff/Catalyst power with L2

Nadia's favorite cartoon character is Wile E. Coyote Super Genius (hence the nickname). She has an uncanny ability to discover what guides gamers will be interested in (another reason for the nick). She's a professor of mathematics in her spare time (another nickname justification). The only non-genius thing she did was co-found GosuNoob.
