Faint Stone | Dark Souls 2 Wiki

Faint Stone

An altered state of titanite. Use to imbue weapons with magic, or to provide magic reduction to shields. Sorcerers at the Melfian Magic Academy once attempted to imbue titanite with various elements, but are said to have failed. Someone must have succeeded though; what else would explain this stone?
