Self Augmentation

, also known as Buffing, is a gameplay mechanic in Dark Souls.

General Information
s, which can also be thought of as positive status effects, are temporary changes to the self that boost power and abilities. They can be granted by casting spells or using consumable items, which last for their duration, or by wearing certain equipment, which last until they are removed.

Effects
Effects are wide ranging and are almost always wholly positive, although some come with added drawbacks like the pyromancy spell, Power Within, which drains Health overtime and the Dusk Crown Ring, which halves HP.

s often add some sort of visual change or aura to the user and might also display an icon below character health and stamina.
