Weapon behavior

See the item notes for verified weapon behavior.

Reinforcement and comparison

Intelligence increases sorcery spell power. Strength contributes only to its weak melee strike, not ordinary sorcery damage. It does not halve spell uses.

Cannot be reinforced or converted to another upgrade path. It also cannot receive pine resins or weapon-enchantment spells.

Notes

  • Requirements and weight: Requires 6 Strength, 10 Intelligence and weighs 2.
  • Scaling: Intelligence increases sorcery spell power. Strength contributes only to its weak melee strike, not ordinary sorcery damage. It does not halve spell uses.
  • Related tools: Beatrice's and Izalith catalysts share its spell-power progression. Their different appearance or melee durability does not make them stronger for ordinary sorceries.
  • Casting: Casts sorceries, not miracles or pyromancies. Attune the spell at a bonfire and meet that spell's own Intelligence requirement as well as the catalyst's requirements. The listed melee attack is separate from spell power.
  • Reinforcement: Cannot be reinforced or converted to another upgrade path. It also cannot receive pine resins or weapon-enchantment spells.
