Incantations

Incantations (祈祷, Kitō; lit. "Prayers") are a type of spell in Elden Ring.

All incantations require FP to cast, with most necessitating a high investment in the Faith stat. However, some incantations are based on Intelligence or Arcane. The Incantation Scaling varies depending on their stat requirements and the player's own stats.

Incantations can only be cast using sacred seals, which act as the required catalyst.
