One of the spells belonging to Carian Royalty, Carian Slicer in Elden Ring, summons a magic longsword that allows you to slice and dice your foes at short range.
This spell is used by players who like to use magical attacks along with a melee weapon. This spell doesn’t actually use a weapon, instead, it summons a weapon when cast. It is one of the best early-game spells that can be used with low stats to deal good damage.
Finding this spell is not that simple. In this guide, we will help you locate it and how you can use it with a magic build to get the most out of it.
Carian Slicer Spell Location
The Carian Slicer spell in Elden Ring is acquired by purchasing it from either the Sorceress Sellen, Preceptor Seluvis, or the Miriel Pastor.
But before you do this, you have to find the Royal House Scroll and give it to Sorceress Sellen or Miriel Pastor depending on from which NPC you want to purchase the spell.
To find the Royal House Scroll, start from the Agheel Lake South site of grace. It can be found in southern Lingrave. Travel east to locate some ruins with some enemies patrolling the area.
Kill the enemies and climb the fallen rocks with magician enemies on them. You can loot the Royal House Scroll from a dead body on this rock right next to the enemy.
After acquiring the Scroll, visit the Sorceress Sellen in the Waypoint Ruins. You can enter the cave by going into the waypoint ruins from the north of the location where you got the Royal House Scroll.
Go deep inside the cave and give the Royal House Scroll to Sorcerrer Sellen. She will allow you to study two spells. You can study both the Carian Slicer and the Glintblade Phalanx spells. You also have to pay her 1500 Runes for each of these spells.
Alternatively, you can take the Royal House Scroll to the Miriel Pastor in the Church of Vows on a cliff east of Liurnia.
Give the Scroll to him and 1500 Runes and get the Carian Slicer Spell.
Carian Slicer Stats
Carian Slicer is a Carian sorcery that requires 14 Intelligence to cast. Its attack power can be increased by using it with Glintstone Staves like Carian Glintstone Staff or Lusat’s Glintstone Staff.
It only costs 4FP and 12 Stamina in addition to one spell slot. You can prepare this spell by resting at any site of grace.
It deals 1.8 x Sorcery Scaling damage per swing and 3 Stance Damage. However, enemies can parry this attack, so beware of using it against foes that like to parry.
What does the Carian Slicer do in Elden Ring, Is it Any Good?
Carian Slicer is an all-magic spell that is used to inflict a slashing attack on the enemy by using a magical longsword.
When you cast it, it will bring a blue magical sword in your hand, which you can use for a sweeping slash attack on the enemy.
Simply put, it allows you to melee an enemy using magic. However, casting this spell will require you to have 14 Intelligence. If you play as a mage, the spell can easily be an alternative to a melee weapon. It doesn’t cost much FP to cast, so you can use it often if you require doing some melee damage to enemies. It is a good idea to keep it in your arsenal as a mage in Elden Ring.
