Just to confirm that AWC and Cosmicsilver are right, and NeonApocalypse is wrong. Also, the sentence makes perfect sense.

You do not need any ember to "increase it to +11 to +15" (whatever that means). Embers are only required for ascension (i.e., "modify weapon") at blacksmiths. In other words, blacksmiths need to have the relevant embers to do the upgrade at +5, and the upgrade at +10 (which cannot be done by players). Other upgrades don't even need a blacksmith; players can do them at any bonfire, as long as they've bought the weapon smithbox and have the necessary shards / chunks / slabs.
