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[]

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 about a minute at 28 Intelligence and reaching a maximum of slightly over 1.5 minutes at 42 Intelligence.
