Incantation & Sorcery Types
Last Updated:May 30, 2025|Changelog
In Elden Ring Nightreign, Incantations and Sorceries are split into many different categories. Most spells are pretty straightforward and adhere to a single classification, but others might correspond to multiple, or even none at all! It can often be difficult to discern exactly where each spell belongs, so this Incantation and Sorcery Types guide aims to present that information in a more digestible format.
The following categories generally follow the spell schools shown in-game. However, there are some exceptions. For example, Ambush Shard, Night Shard, Night Comet, Night Maiden's Mist are all "Night Sorceries" from the Sellian School. However, only the two semi-invisible spells (Night Shard, Night Comet) are "Night" type for scaling purposes.
These categories are not well-explained in-game and may change in a future patch. Pin this post to keep an eye on updates or if you notice a spell isn't scaling like it should, report it in the #elden-ring-nightreign channel in our Discord by pinging the guide's author.
