AnonymousI love how they absolutely didn't bother to balance this spell for Nightreign, so you can still pump a boss full of 00 crystal buckshot like nobody's business lmao. A must pick if you're playing Duchess/Recluse.

You cannot beat my build of a pump action shotgun(crystal burst for semi-auto)

using this at point blank has the same firepower as shooting an actual shotgun in Elden Ring.

Most slept on sorcery? You get amazing damage, not too long of a cast time, and is boosted by the third highest scaling staff at 70 int. Plus, you can get 2 staff boosts in ng via the rotten crystal staff. I was doing moonveil damage without the staff boosts or charging it.

One of the most fun spells to use imho and it hits quite hard too. It´s basically a magic shotgun.

Is it at least decent option or does it just look cool and nothing else? That's rather sexy spell if you ask me.
Hitboxes too inconsistent, especially on human sized enemies. You either do decent dmg or nothing for 26fp.
You sacrifice range for what you'd think should be better chance at hits (over comet), but it doesn't do enough damage or costs too much fp still.

it feels so good using this against dragons, like im shotgunning them in the face and they stance breaked in a couple blasts when paired with rain of stars

Honestly, this spell might be in the same tier of all the other melee Carian spells in my opinion.
It's an excellent damaging tool for close quarter combat, can cover a decent area in a cone in front of you and can easily oneshot with the correct build assuming you're brave enough to use the full charged spell at point blank.
Honestly, all the Crystallians sorceries aren't bad at all, their only problem is that most of them locks you into the casting animation.

underrated, int equivalent to pest threads for giant enemies along with shard spiral

Accidentally one shot a dude in full bull goats with my pure spell build, got hatemail for it when they ran right into it while I was charging it

underrated spell tbh, its especially good at bursting down large enemies like Ulcerated Tree Spirits, Fire Giant, etc, and very good at crowd control. the damage is good too

crystal magic could cause physical damage instead of magic damage

I miss Dark Bead from Dark Souls 1
This spell is a bit slow and doesn't do enough damage, even at a very close range

FROM should’ve just made these cold sorceries, but too bad Faith has by far the coolest and strongest cold attacks :(

This spell is fantastic for blowing skull barnacles off mausoleums.
This thing destroyed the Fire Giant when fired at his wonky leg from a short distance.

Magic shotgun. Looks cool and great damage for low FP cost
tho there seems to be almost 0 poise damage as it doesn't interrupt even knight enemies and 5 fully charged ones doesn't break omen enemy posture

Good god does this thing do damage at close range and sometimes long range if the outer gods will it. for real I have had times where for no reason at all a fully charged blast just obliterates someone who is clearly out of its intended range.

I like using this as an alternative to carian piercer to spice up my pure sorcerer, it has less range but the potential for massive burst damage when paired with the crystal staff and godfrey icon, plus it’s just a nice change visually. Probably the least useless of the crystalian sorceries, here’s hoping they all get a buff in the near future

50% more damage when using Crystal Staff.
Tested against Basilisks in Auriza Hero's Grave.

With crystal staff this becomes really powerful at close range, but the fp cost is too high in my opinion

Great for catching the maidenless who only know how to spam jumping attacks.

i find this spell to be a mixed bag.... the potential cor utter greatness is there.... charged damage at point blank is MASSIVE... if it has more poise damage i feel it would be in a lot more sorcerers arsenals as more than just a less good bestial sling crippled pvp finisher move

As a first time mage I love getting on enemy's face and fully charge it as they recover from heavy attacks. The damage is really really good but the fp consumption is high. I would say it fits very well into a battlemage build but honestly isn't really as good as comet

If you point the camera up , they make really pretty celebratory fireworks during co-op.

the free aim potential is there. try shooting at a downward angle to tighten the cone

Really good as a roll catch in PVP to finish with surprising range but not really worth using outside of this.

Much better than using god awful "comet' and other slow high cost spells with no range. This spell works best on big targets plus it's decently fast.

Great finisher spell for a panicking opponent in PvP, charging it up will throw off their timing if you're lucky. Don't rely on it too much, but the damage when fully charged is also incredibly high.

Love to use this spell for large targets as this spell shotguns and does huge amounts of damage, especially if you charge it before.
Casino sorcery. Either does alright damage, or blows a hole through an enemy. Using it on Mohg, had to replicate that scene from Titanic where dude holds a girl from behind to deal good damage, a step further from boss -- damage drops by a good margine.
