General Information[]

Casting Dark Weapon cause the weapon in the opposite hand to be enchanted with Dark damage. The duration scaling of this buff entirely depends on the player's Intelligence stat and ranges from 27 seconds at the lowest possible level of 10 Int after spicing down Dark Weapon all the way to the maximum length of 99 seconds when no spell duration boosting gear is applied. It is recommended that players spice down the Faith requirement of this spell to 10 as Faith levels have no bearing on this buff at all.

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

Attunement Level	Amount of Casts
10	4
32	5
43	6
58	7
