The whole player base of FromSoftware’s Elden Ring could not be more excited with the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. It has already been revealed how the coming extension for the game will bring a huge addition to the present armory, including weapons and more importantly, magic spells.
Fans of the game on the famous social media platform Reddit have also revealed what new magic spells they would like to witness being added to the game with the release of Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. This particular post covers the community discussing what might be the best spells to see in the DLC and goes over some of the most insane spell ideas that would be a dream come true for some players if added to the game.
7. Madness Dragon Breath Attack in Elden Ring
One of the many ways our tarnished character is allowed to defeat his enemies is by summoning a literal dragon breath to deal damage and build up a status effect on the opponent.
While the game already has many of these Dragon Breath attacks with different build-ups, such as Frost and Scarlet Rot, there is still a lack of a Dragon Breath attack that builds up madness.
6. Crucible Wings Incantation
Much to the likeliness of the user who wished for this particular spell to be added to the game, the recent gameplay trailer for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC reveals what seems to be a spell that allegedly allows the player to grow wings and take flight in the air.
5. Necromancy Spells
For those who might not know, Necromancy is a term that refers to the practice of communicating with those who have passed away. However, thanks to another popular video game title, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, we already have an understanding of what necromancy spells would work in a game.
The spells, if added, should practically allow the player to involuntarily attain help from those who have passed away. This should not be a big task to accomplish, considering Elden Ring already has an established concept of summoning, as well as of beings who live beyond death.
4. Butterfly Spells
Not much can be explained in detail about this particular entry in the list. However, a user has justified how the game should include a spell category highlighting butterflies as there are many of them present in the title already, and much to everyone’s surprise, it seems we might get to see something similar soon as teased in the aforementioned gameplay trailer.
3. Magic Weapon Conjuring
As the name might suggest, this particular spell would allow the player to conjure/ summon weapons with the help of spells. This is yet another concept that would be copied from Skyrim, and again should not be a difficult concept for Elden Ring to replicate in the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
2. Envoy Bubble Spells
There is already a category of bubble spells, called Oracular spells, that exist in the game. Fans hope to see a major buff, much like the infliction of holy damage on impact with the opponent in the coming DLC.
1. Catch Blackflame
This particular incantation would be an imitation of the already existing Catch Flame incantation, except it would feature the godslaying black flame instead. It could potentially help players lose their frost build-up, a feature that the original catch flame incantation also subtly contains.
It is now in Hidetaka Miyazaki’s jurisdiction whether he decides to add these unique and intriguing spells to the game. However, there remains no doubt that the addition of these elements in the game would help further diversify the arsenal available to the players, refreshing the gameplay experience.
Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is available to pre-order on Steam.
