Magic Fortification is an incantation spell in Elden Ring. It is one of the Two Fingers incantations.
Description[]
Incantation of the Two Fingers' faithful.
Increases magic damage negation. This incantation can be cast while in motion.
Follow the path that has been set for you, and you will make enemies of all others: the monks, the sorcerers, the ancient dragon knights, and the scions of gold. Heed me — the Lands Between offers no welcome to the Tarnished.
Acquisition[]
Purchase: Roundtable Hold / Altus Plateau / Leyndell, Royal Capital / Mountaintops of the Giants
- Sold for 3,500 Runes by Brother Corhyn.
- Should Corhyn die before purchasing this Incantation from him, the player can still purchase it from the Twin Maiden Husks for the same price, after giving them Corhyn's Bell Bearing.
Effects[]
Magic Fortification grants a Body Buff that decreases Magic damage taken by 35% (10% in PvP) for 90 seconds.
Notes[]
- Costs 20 FP per cast.
- Costs 13 Stamina per cast.
- Requires 1 Memory Slot to be equipped.
- This spell reduces magic damage taken rather than directly increasing damage negation. The total damage reduction can be expressed by the following formula, where MagicFortification represents the effect magnitude:
- For example, if magic damage negation is 25 at the time of casting, the total reduction against PvE enemies would be 51.25%:
- Against other players, the total reduction would be 32.5%:
- For example, if magic damage negation is 25 at the time of casting, the total reduction against PvE enemies would be 51.25%:
Strategies[]
- The effectiveness of this spell diminishes as magic damage negation increases, offering less benefit when stacked with multiple magic negation sources.
- Magic Fortification is a moderately effective defensive spell with low casting requirements, usable by most starting Origins when equipped with the Two Fingers Heirloom and a Finger Seal.
- This incantation is valuable due to the prevalence of Magic damage in the game, particularly against sorcerers, Deathbirds, and Glintstone Dragons, especially in regions like Liurnia of the Lakes.
- Magic Fortification offers greater magic protection than Spellproof Dried Liver (35% vs. 15%) but at a shorter duration (90 vs. 120 seconds). This spell requires 10 Faith and 1 Memory Slot to be equipped and 20 FP to cast, while the Dried Liver only requires crafting materials.
- The Spellproof Dried Liver is preferable for PvP encounters, as both effects are reduced to 10%.
