Sorceries - Dark Souls 2

Sorcery is a school of magic that inflicts magic elemental damage with its offensive spells. Most of the spells are offensive focused, while others can be used to manipulate sound and light. Staves are the main catalysts for casting sorceries. Magic damage can be improved by increasing the Intelligence stat. The soft cap for magic damage is 40 Int.
