Incantations are Magic Spells in Elden Ring that have many helpful effects ranging from healing and curing status effects to dealing damage within a broad area. In this guide, we’ll be looking at Incantations Locations in Elden Ring and discuss their uses and the difference between Sorcery and Incantations.
What Are Incantations
In Elden Ring, there are two types of Magic: The first one being Sorcery and the other is Incantations. Sorcery is mainly used to cast spells to either weaken or completely take down enemies during a battle.
On the other hand, Incantations are almost identical to Sorcery, but they have an entirely different set of spells.
For example, Incantations don’t use staff but instead use a Seal (Elden Ring primary weapon) or any other weapon with the same function. These are really difficult to master but come in handy for self-cure or for curing an ailment.
Incantation Trainer/Teacher Locations
Most of the time, Incantations are received through NPCs in Elden Ring. These NPCs are known as trainers. Below is a list of all Incantations Trainers found in Elden Ring.
- Corhyn: found at the Roundtable Hold
- D hunter of the Dead: found at Church of Irith
- Gurranq/ Beast Clergyman: found at the Bestial Sanctum (north-east Caelid).
How to Use Incantations in Elden Ring
You need seals to cast Incantation Spells in Elden Ring. You can buy these seals from the Roundtable. Once you have acquired the seal, you can then learn or buy spells from different vendors.
After that, all you have to do is sit at A Site of Grace and navigate to the “Memorize Spell” menu, where you’ll be able to equip the different incantations you have bought.
Once you have your seal equipped, simply press either of the shoulder buttons to cast the spell.

Incantations Vs Sorceries
They are both good at dealing damage. To use Incantations, you need a seal to cast it properly, and for the Sorceries, you need the staff to cast the Magic.
There are only a few offensive sorceries in the game; meanwhile, you have all types of incantations (both offensive and defensive), and you can pick & choose based on your playstyle.
Support type incantations help you stay alive for a while; meanwhile, the offensive incantations mostly deal AoE Damage which is almost equal to the damage caused by Sorceries.
On the other hand, Sorceries has defensive, and offensive type spells only. It varies on your playstyle and how you wish to run with it.
You can Charge Magic attacks, which increase your damage, and the fast-cast type spells to protect you from immediate threats.
