Incantations are a type of Magic in Nightreign,, cast using a Sacred Seal. Each Sacred Seal comes preloaded with a total of two spells, and unlike other FromSoftware titles, Incantations in Nightreign no longer carry any stat requirements. They can be cast by pressing R1 or R2 on the controller. The damage and effectiveness of Magic Spells in Nightreign can also be improved by upgrading the weapon used to cast them.
Weapons in Nightreign are acquired randomly from Chests and Field Boss drops, meaning the selection available will vary from run to run. Since there are no stat requirements in Nightreign, players are free to mix Sorceries and Incantations together effectively. It's also possible to equip two staves or seals across both hands, allowing players to cast up to four spells without needing to swap weapons at all. This page covers a full list of all the Incantation spells available in Elden Ring Nightreign.

AnonymousHonestly way more fun than sorceries despite being suboptimal in many situations, makes the game actually feel like a roguelike somewhat. Of course you can just fish for shattering crystal and snowball every run (unless you get Pentient Sest, Caligo or ED Libra), but playstyle like this gets boring fast.
Incantations are tough to play in DoN, but they were goated back in normal mode, and you could get desired ones most of the time. Basically the reason Revenant remains my most played character even though I used Duchess almost exclusively to climb in DoN. In case you didn't know, she actually has higher chance of finding seals by default, although visual codex description led many into believing it's not true.

DLC will add dryleaf seal that will have multilayered ring of light as its default spell, and it will be just as op as shattering crystal, TRUST

seriously, I have so much fun playing with incantations but all of the niche damage negation buffs just waste space in the pool and make it hard to get cool stuff. Faith Recluse is really fun when you get USABLE incantations, but it's so often just rejection/fortification. At least most sorceries are usable.

Many of these are incorrect. Most of those listed as "Giants' Flame Incantations" are not boosted by the relic which increases those. Try it yourself with catch flame or flame sling for example.

If you find a seal with Lightning Spear on it and the boss isn't resistant to lightning (Gaping Jaw has 50% resistance while Caligo and f*cka** pest has 10-20%), TAKE IT. The amount of damage it pumps out is LUDICROUS and cocktails with lightning in it are some of the best. You get transient moonlight (good damage and range), bloodhound step at home, autoparries, taliban, blackhole explosion, the ice cube, and my beloved, the lightning stake.

All these incantation combo possibilities and here i am seeing Rejection and Divine Fortification on 3 different seals from the same seal chest....
Would love to use cocktails in solo play but apparently holy and lightning spells are rarer than fu***ng legendary armaments from a corpse drop...
