Although Crystal Chime scales with both Intelligence and Faith, it is ill-suited for casting Dark Spells, and the results of attempting as such will yield severely weakened spells. In the case of Crystal Chime, the inverse is true. However, when casting normal spells ( Lightning Spear, Soul Spear), only the respective associated stat will be used to calculate Spell Buff, reducing the potency of the spell cast. When used to cast Dark Spells ( Gnaw, Great Deep Soul), both halves of the Spell Buff will be used to calculate its potency. Provided that both stats are of equal level, each will provide half of the increased Spell Buff above 100. The Spell Buff of a Dark Catalyst scales equally with Intelligence and Faith. They will usually scale with both Intelligence and Faith, making it a very compatible playstyle with a Pyromancer-type build.Ĭatalysts that are fit to cast Dark Spells will continue to scale optimally up until 45 each of both Intelligence and Faith. Though Dark spells can be cast with any compatible catalyst, their effectiveness is greatly increased when casting the spell with a catalyst specially attuned to casting these types of spells (see Dark Catalysts below). Pyromancy Flames will continue to scale optimally up until level 40 of both Intelligence and Faith.Sacred Chimes and Talismans will continue to scale optimally up until level 60 of Faith.Staves will continue to scale optimally up until level 60 of Intelligence.If one or both stat requirements are not met, Spell Buff will be set to a flat value of 60 regardless of other circumstances. The higher the level of the wielder's Intelligence/Faith stats, the higher the numbers of Spell Buff on a given catalyst.Ī catalyst has a base Spell Buff of 100, with additional Spell Buff being added on top of this value based on the scaling of the associated stat(s). The only thing that directly influences a catalyst's Spell Buff are the Faith/Intelligence of the player, and as such, when upgrading a catalyst, the scaling of these stats will rise and so will its overall Spell Buff. The same holds true in any catalyst using their appropriate spell, with exception of Dark Spells.
This number is determined by the amount of Intelligence and Faith of the player (and in the case of one Staff, Luck).Ī Staff with 130 Spell Buff will generally outperform one that has 120, if they were to cast the same Sorcery. Upon acquiring a catalyst, be it a Sacred Chime, a Talisman, a Staff, a Pyromancy Flame, or even weapons capable of casting spells (see " Unique Catalysts" for a list of such items), the stat that determines how effective it is at casting is its Spell Buff.
