Carian Sorcery Sword

One of the Carian royal family's glintstone swords. A smaller piercing sword with a slender blade. Formerly used by the Carian knights of old before the full refinement of their sorcerous combat techniques, this armament functions as a catalyst for glintstone sorcery when executing strong attacks. Dark Souls 2

The following location: In a chest that can be found after dropping down into Castle EnsisRegion from the cliff just west of the waterfall to the west of the Highroad CrossGrace Site of Grace in Scadu AltusRegion. Weapon Skill: Impaling Thrust. This weapon cannot be infused with Ashes of War. Can't be enchanted with Magic nor boosted by Consumables Carian Sorcery Sword can be upgraded by using Smithing Stones. This weapon gives up R2s in favor of sorceries in your spell slot, a guard counter can still be performed by pressing R1/R2 together, and when held in your offhand L2 will cast sorceries instead. It is the most powerful spell catalyst at precisely 41 Intelligence if fully upgraded. Demi-Human Queen's Staff is marginally better at 40 Int and under Academy Glintstone Staff is superior between 42 to 68 Int. Carian Regal Scepter is superior for players at 69 Int or above. It can be used in conjunction with Carian Slicer, Carian Greatsword, Carian Piercer, Adula's Moonblade, Gavel of Haima, Shatter Earth and Rock Blaster as the alternatives of strong attack melee to further expand its melee moveset. Additionally, when used as a main hand weapon, it can buff off-hand shield with Scholar's Shield without switching main hand weapon to a staff. There is a prevalent bug with this weapon regarding non-magic damaging spells. The Physical Damage from certain spells scale off the Strength and Dexterity stats of this weapon rather than its Intelligence stat. These spells will underperform when using this weapon as a catalyst. This weapon is reminiscent of the sorcery-casting sword Blue Flame from Dark Souls 2. refer to the Upgrades Table of this weapon below. NOTE: Thrusting Swords (in PVP)
