Faintstone

Faintstones are upgrade materials in Dark Souls II.

In-Game Description

An altered state of titanite. Used to imbue weapons with magic or provide magic reduction to shields.

Sorcerers at the "Melfian Academy" once attempted to imbue titanite with various elements, but are said to have failed.

Someone else must have succeeded though; what else would explain this stone?
