For the Dark Souls III variant, see Crystal Magic Weapon (Dark Souls III).

Crystal Magic Weapon is a sorcery in Dark Souls II.

In-Game Description

Imbues weapon in other hand with crystal magic. More powerful than standard magic reinforcement.

The utilization of crystals to enhance soul power is an ancient form of magical reinforcement.

Availability[]

Found in a metal chest in Dragon Shrine on a ledge close to the room with the Petrified Egg.

Effect[]

Applies a Magic buff to the weapon in the hand opposite the staff used to cast the spell. Though it is stronger than the Magic and Great variants, Crystal Magic Weapon's low amount of casts, moderate at best duration, and fairly high requirements means it is best reserved for fights against strong foes such as bosses.

The total bonus is difficult to calculate, but is roughly 30% of the sum (15 + weapon's Magic scaling * character's Magic bonus + weapon's Base damage), with a small additional damage bonus on Magic infused weapons.

The duration scales with Intelligence, starting at 27 seconds at 10 Intelligence when this spell is spiced down going all the way up to 99 seconds when the duration scaling is capped at 42 Intelligence.

Attunement milestones[]

Like all other spells, the amount of casts per slot increases upon reaching certain Attunement milestones:

Attunement Level	Amount of Casts
10	1
43	2
94	3

Duration Scaling Information[]

Duration values are listed in seconds. Base duration of this spell only depends on Intelligence. Base duration shown as well as values with the Lingering Dragoncrest variants applied and pieces of Northwarder Set applied.
