Sorceries (魔術, Majutsu) are a medium of spells in Elden Ring.
All sorceries require some FP to be cast and the majority of them require a heavy investment into the Intelligence stat, however, there are still some Faith and Arcane-based sorceries to be found. Sorceries can only be manifested through the use of Staves acting as a catalyst.
The actual damage or effect per casting of a Sorcery is based on a unique stat of Staves called Sorcery Scaling, or SS. The value of this stat for any staff depends on the quality of the staff, its Strengthening level, and a combination of your relevant Stats and Attributes combined with the staff's Grade Ratio for those attributes (primarily focusing on Intelligence). Individual spells will have their Power ratio represented as % SS (such as POWER: 75% SS), which represents the percentage of an equipped staff's Sorcery Scaling value that is used for each shot. Do note that enemy resistances will factor into how much damage you see an enemy take; the Power % shown for attack spells is based on calculations done on unarmored neutral critters in the starting zones.
