i would love to see mods incorporated more into PvP because that would make the game last more but the problem is some see mods as cheating and overpowered(which they don't have to be) or modders that make all their mods insane and one shot boss moves. mods that are simple and improve the game are my favorite so i greatly enjoyed this
@@taymack9725 I felt this way when playing through one of the DS3 mods (I forget which one). I tried invading with it because that account had already been banned from the normal servers, and quickly realized that not only was it incredibly strong, but the people I invaded couldn't even see half the spells I threw at them because they didn't have the same files downloaded. Modded PVP would require dedicated servers for it, which we all know Fromsoft doesn't use servers for multiplayer.
As someone who will also be absolutely playing this with friends and making content with it, thank you. This is a truly beautiful mod. Your editing, music & showcases are outstanding, I can't wait to see the release!! :D
I love the tiny detail of the ancestral spells making the little animal yip sounds that the ancestral spirit makes when it breaths its spirit-fire-gas-fog-thing, VERY nice touch
@@mgk-metalgearkelly5054 Outward has a magic system similar to what you want, a lot of spells aren't really that strong or have completely different properties until you fulfill certain requirements, like for example, you can use the most basic fire spell to lit your bonfire, but using a fire stone (a craftable and purchasable consumable) makes the weakest spell a pretty strong fireball, tho you need to be in the casting circle made by the fire stone to use it properly, making it so that you have to choose when and where to put the stone, then there's a spells that gives you invulnerability for like 3 seconds, but if you cast that spell on a fire stone circle, it will give you a fire Dmg buff and you will lose some health for a certain amount of time, and if you use that same spell on an Ice stone circle (or maybe it was a wind circle, I'm not too far into the game yet), it will create a strong electric explosion if i remember correctly, from what i did read, the games wanted a more "ritualistic" approach to magic in their game :)
@@joshualoup2518 sounds really interesting I'll check it out. And yes "ritualistic" is a good word: I pretty much imagined a pagan-inspired magic system in my mind.
I love how they're not super overpowered. They also fit very nicely within the clearly defined rules of Elden Ring. Wanna heal with magic? Why not use the magic from a magic boss that can heal. Absolutely lovely
Yeah. Other magic mods are either unimpressive and bland, or the opposite - over-the-top anime-ish overpowered shit that burns your retina. This mod looks epic, but not too epic, and spells look strong, but again, not too strong. Balance and creativity - that's what makes this so amazing
Bro this is going to be SO HYPE. And I most certainly gonna have to do playthroughs using all of these spells! Absolutely magnificent work, and I look forward to the release announcement!
yeah seems like bosses have versions of spells the player can't get like also the light hammer and sword margit gets that are similar to the sorcery versions we get, but faith based
@@juulz6165 My original comment was gonna be a bit longer because I wanted to mention how much I like ERR, but it falls flat in quite a few places. Just imagine an ERR-scale overhaul mod made in this format. Frequent updates and showcases to the community for constant feedback, maybe a slower development time but with changes that a majority of people are both aware of and had a hand in deciding. I think if Rusty really wanted to make that commitment that he would do an amazing job, even more so with a few other people to lighten the load.
You're right. A lot of styles of play were meant to be story wise anyways, between the two different forms of build, not universal. And storm would absolutely be incants considering where we get them. If it's just for funs sake without any lore thought though it really doesn't matter though.
Cant wait to do an actual Bloodthorn build! Been waiting for this mod just so can do a build with more than 2 spells for the abberant stuff, cant wait to see what all the spells you have planned for it are!
These spells look so cool I am actually apprehensive to install the mod for fear I won’t turn it off and enjoy the base spells again. Fantastic work, Rusty! I can tell you are passionate about it.
What I really like about all of these spells is that they are very minimalistic. Even the ones with heavy particle effects last only as long as they need to and don't fill the entire screen with needlessly massive explosions and bright lights. I genuinely appreciate that most of these are on the same magnitude as vanilla spells, both visually and balance wise. Thank you so much Rusty!!!
The visuals, the audio, and the animations... all so so good. The overall quality of these is really impressive. I especially love the particle effects of Great Storm Spear and the unique higher pitch of the charged Primordial Star. They both seem like they'd feel really satisfying to cast. Fantastic job and great showcase :)
Channeling the storm is my favorite archetype to do in fantasy, thunder and wind are just so cool to use thematically, and I like that you made them poisebreaking spells, thank you!
Just a suggestion, maybe put the Mt. Gelmir sorcery school symbol on the Sanguine Rupture casting so it would make sense on why it inflicts fire damage on it's projectile, as well as having the same moveset on one of Mt. Gelmir sorceries (the same on how Adula's Moonblade having the Carian symbol on their casting, even if it's actually more considered as a frost spell).
Great video. Btw in case you're open to new spell suggestions I have an idea for a new primeval spell, specifically the primeval version of the glintstone arc spell. This spell would have a continuously forward/wide area of effect hitting everything in front of the player. It would basically be a spell/intelligence build version of the Sacred Relic Sword's Wave of Gold. Ps: lore wise the Primordial Stars spell could have been created by Sellen just like each of the other primeval sorceries were created by a specific primeval wizard.
Hell yeah, man! Thanks for all the hard work as always! I'm sure it's going to be really cool! I'll have to check it out when I finally get this game for PC since I'm on PS4.
I recommend making sorceries both available in locations around the map, but also have a way to get them easily like a unique merchant, just because it might be too much work for both the player and the modder to know where these spells would be, though if you want to go the extra mile you can have guide to getting these spells to make it less tedious, maybe even in game through a hint npc, and there can also be unique encounters like a boss(likely a upscaled enemy), though that's about the idea I can go before it goes to making puzzle territory or something similar, that would be a little too much work
The fact that this mod will not only give us the chance to make full and dynamic builds centered around even the niche types of magics. But also seems like it will fix the fact that every staff is just inferior to the two big ones (with the representative staff just being pushed off to the offhand for the buff), feels very interesting. Looking forward to seeing this mod release, and hope that (Once a well deserved break is had), that maybe a look over of some of the less appreciated incantation schools could be done!
I'm genuinely looking forward to this. Just finished a sorcery playthrough and I can't wait to try all these new spells. Everything looks so clean and well thought out.
It looks amazing ! But I also think that the storm sorcelleries should be storm incantations instead. Anyway that's one of the most ambitious Elden ring mod ever and seems really well thought out. Hoping to see more soon
Me and my friend have been wanting to do a "Goddess of the Sun/God of the Moon" playthrough (glorified Fire and Ice where we can only use spells of our character theme. We were looking at which spells we would be able to use and all that but for his character (ice), there isnt very much variety for him in the vanilla game and any mod that just so happens to add ice spells (if there are any) were either just reskins of other spells or completely busted in terms of balance. Coincidently, that same day you announced that you were starting work on this mod, and i mentioned to him that we should wait on the playthrough until we can have this mod, even though we already created the characters. Super excited for this mod to come out so we can finally do the playthrough!
This will be by far my favourite Elden Ring mod, and imo the ONLY viable sorcery mod. What you did is honestly beyond impressive, you can be SO proud of yourself! Not only did you create great spells that you really fit into the official version of the game, but the balancing seems perfect and we can now finally have buffs through sorceries! In my opinion, your mod has the potential to bring so much variety of gameplay to the game, this is like getting a free DLC! I can't wait to start a new character and try your mod. Well done fellow Tarnished, thy creativity befits a crown.
Elden ring reforged adds multiple new spells as well as an overhaul for the existing ones and the rest of the game as well. Each class even has a "generator" spell for it that does low damage and costs low fp but will Regen do on hit. This allows you to do a pure caster run without relying on a melee weapon out of fear of running out of fp
You should make a custom staff for each sorcery type that buffs that one type. So that if people wanted to roleplay with a cool build, then they could have the staff they want that fits their magic type. Great work. I love your content, and am super excited for this to release.
This looks like a really well made and funny overhaul. Fromsoft should hire people like you. A few guys per team, one team makes a skill overhaul, another one quests, another bosses etc. All mods available as a modloader at the start menu. Then when all is finished, release it as a DLC für 15 bucks, 50/50 split between creators and FromSoft. Or a fixed amount / normal contract hourly based.
Its amazing how nothing looks "tacked" on. All the spells incorporate beautifully into the game. Sanguine Rupture and Great Storm Spear are my favs. I love how they actually protect the caster during start up. Absolutely fantastic work!
This is really awesome. Fromsoft's magic does commonly feel like an afterthought, always having so much potentislly but rarely living up to it. Ending up as a gunstick, with "fun" alternatives always being so many orders of magnitude less efficient that it makes you wonder why they're even in the game. I cant wait to see more of this mod. On a tangentially related note, not that id expect a random YT comment to have any impact on your plans with this mod, but ive always thought casting staves, idols, etc being needed for spells as an uneccessary byproduct of older, more archaic mentalities for medieval fantasy. Especially now with weapon arts so fleshed out, it feels like magic should be able to be cast from a weapon or shield or whatnot (albeit with some minor damage or "# of learnable spells" penalty of course) as long as spell requirements are met. Just a passing thought though.
Your creativity and execution with mods like this is truly amazing! I'm wondering if you would consider doing a modding tutorial or two in the future for people inspired to make mods of their own even though they know next to nothing about it, like me.
People are really popping off with this modded content and you are NO exception!! The stormveil spells look fucking insane, can't wait to try this out!!
Idea for incantations: 1. Ice-lightning dragonbolt [works smilar to redlightning, but applies frost-lightning to weapon and increases resistance to frost massively 2. Death- Applies Death onto weapon 3. Death-Lightning Dragon-Bolt (Slowly builds death-blight on the player, but applies standard lightnimg bolt buffs and applies death to weapon) 4. Destined Death Alternative: Applies the red destined death effect to weapon in off hand. 5. Ice Lightning Sphere: spawns an ball of ice-lightning, similar to Flame of the fell god, that builds frost when it explodes, then the ground leaves an electrical shock that is struck by a ice-lightning bolt 6. Beastial Rampage: Boost movement and attack speed, but increases damage taken 7. Ultimate Form of the Dragon Lord: Similar to Placcidusax's Ruin, but uses all 4 heads 8. Undead Revival: Revives you once after death, but with 1 hp, and capping your health til the boss is defeated/til you die and respawn (Just a few ideas)
I look forward to trying this out! One thing i will say, it does seem like most of these sorceries border on weak enough to be "why would i use this instead of X" levels of weak simply out of fear of otherwise being too op... If the spells are shown in this video to be with 80 int and a +10 carian scepter, it should definitely have comparable damage outputs to an 80 faith incantation like lightning spear, or a +25 regular weapon, and most of those should easily hit in the 600+ range, so most of these sorceries fall short in comparison on TOP of costing fp to use instead of being free. In my honest opinion, don't be afraid to let your sorceries shine, make sure they're useful enough that the fun of using them AND the strategic advantage of them being better choices for damage or status effects come together, this mod definitely feels like a celebration of all things magic so let the magic be the star. I think from what i've seen in the video, you could probably boost most numbers by around 15-30% and still have them be fairly balanced. 80 int +10 scepter should be peak magic, it's the strength of a build fully dedicated to being high damage, they should be past the median point of damage dealing in a comparable build of different qualities.
This looks really promising. I hope you managed to give each school of magic its own identity as you said in the first announcement. I prefer using faith spells/incantations in souls games, but I'll definitely check this out upon release !
I will ABSOLUTELY recreate my very first character just because I themed him around ancestral spirits and I headcanon that the shaman horns actually grew on his head and gave him spirit magic. Thanks to you, I'll be able to actually play it!!!!
Bro, this is BRILLIANT! You definitely got talent and creativity to make such an amazing mod happen. This is the best magic mod I've ever seen for Elden Ring, even though a lot of people tried. Such a wide and creative, yet balanced and not overloaded use of all sorts of animations brings joy to my heart and pleasure to my eyes. This is just outstanding!
Absolutely love the Support Sorceries here! Sorceries in the base game are usually pretty fun to use, but compared to the ammount of options you have with incantations it felt like I'd be missing out leveling Intelligence. Ancestral Sorceries seem like they'll remedy that, and I'm down for it!
Hi Rusty! For an interesting casting focus, I was wondering if the mod could include an oath to the outer gods. Either the greater will or not...the idea goes like this: you need to do a gesture before the two fingers to gain a buff similar to a great rune. The implications in play are: you need to unlock the gesture to unlock the boon, and that leads to more quests. The fundamentalist 'T' pose, for example, could give a certain buff to holy dmg? Fire spur me, protects from fire dmg? The groveling something else, etc. I think it could add a whole layer to the game, and since you get Rapture the first time you meet the two fingers, from the crone, that should be the base buff? :) Erudition already is used to open seals...
Just from this showcase i have to say this looks incredible. Im mostly impressed by how you managed to make them all interesting. they arent all just more ways of doing damage and they arent way over the top like you see many modders try. This feels like its going to be balanced but interesting without just filling the screen with overpowered projectiles. absolutely looking forward to this!!
i'm really excited to play this! with your situational awareness for finding best use cases for every spell and incantation, i trust your design process and balancing for spells.
just imagine what could be done with a total magic overhaul, we could get more scarlet rot and blood spells as well as maybe getting new spells from previous souls games, I would wait an eternity for it to release if it were made.
Love everything your doing here. Magic really has been a highlight of Eldenring for me. Especially love the mind control function. (Was very sad to see Tibia's Summons was not actually a summon, Ashes are cool but I really wanted to have a minion or summon my pets to buff and heal.))
I really love how seamless these spells are, in the way that they really feel like they belong in the game. Really excited for this mods release, it looks awesome!
a good idea is to look at current spells like the glintstone arc and make a grander version of it, like make it bigger and have a special rebound or something, oh there can also be more sleep spells, but I feel that would require some insane balancing
so this is already mad impressive, but what makes this even crazier is that they ALL HAVE UNIQUE ICONS. spell icons especially are a pain in the dick to make because you can't just use a high rez picture of the model. amazing work
You gave many under appreciated classes way more options, while making them all unique instead of being mainly different in terms of numbers or statistics instead of actual usage. Very good rusty, but some things look pretty OP, like River of Knives and Great Storm Spear. At the very least I think Great Storm Spear’s knockback attack should be smaller. Also, don’t make a mod for incantations, because I want to make one myself =)
Your storm sorcery that uses Bolt of Gransax' animation just reminded me of how much I just wish the Ancient Lightning Spear was a projectile, rather than an Ancient Lightning Stake... We could've had both, no problem, if it was that important to have ANOTHER player centered aoe Ancient Dragon incantation.
This looks so good because it’s not disgustingly flashy and OP like the other sorcery or AOW mods. If I wanted to play DMC I will play DMC. Thank you for this excellent contribution
This looks great, but just to make sure you know about it, there’s something going on with the staff at 8:09, it either flips around or becomes a sword. Might want to fix that before the release
It doesnt flip or turn into a sword, the animation is just a little bit jarring with how fast the arm moves. Its a much clearer animation at 0.25x speed Edit: that being said, now i realize that the player character's wrist moves unnaturally during the follow-up attack. This might be a vanilla problem though, as i believe most of these animations are taken from already-existing attacks
My personal favorite is the one that sets a trap, it kinda creates an interesting play style in which you become a trapper. It would be fun to see that in online as it would make a few interesting mind games you have to play with your opponents on whether or not you want to run at them or not.
Dark souls magic will ALWAYS hold a place in my heart, for being the first unique non elemental magic system that really intrigued me. But I cannot deny the coolness that it Elden ring magic, so much variety and with this mod it makes it even better !
I hope you make a video with a quick tip on them all. Your style of explaining and your humour would make it very awesome, :) Also, a title: "Lost Spells From The Shattering". Nods to the shattering event of Elden Ring.
This is easily the coolest fucking mod ive seen, completely custom stuff and it seems to be adding onto the smaller cast of spells like yk blood which... Exists
I'm literally gonna but Elden Ring again for PC just to try the mod. These look so well made and I can't wait to try out different combinations with them.
I love how these new editions aren’t just massive aoe attacks that 1 shot bosses (like other mods) but instead are thought out editions that could be added in P.S i think it’d be interesting to make a sorcery (or incant if those are up next) where the enemy gets an Oman debuff and can’t heal with any outside source of healing, that way doing doing something like erdtree heal can be countered
Flavour text for River of Knives: Although this sorcery was originally crafted by the Ancient Heroes of Zamor in the Erdtree forces' fabled war against the giants and their evil Fell Deity, it also became harshly reviled by the Zamor people, for it robbed them of an honourable fight against their mortal enemies. It is rumored that they forbade it in the aftermath of this historic battle due to its insidious effectiveness against giants.
Looks like Elden ring will be the next Skyrim when it comes to modding and this mod right here will be a must have for each playthrough. Would be amazing if Fromsoft contacted you guys and paid you to put these spells in the base game. It would make sorcery so much better and would make the world feel a lot more worth exploring. My main complaint with sorcery in Elden ring would be the lack of some spell types being cast aside for example Briars of Punishment is the only thorn spell and that's sad because it would be cool to make a build around that particular type of element, but with this mod it seems like you guys focused a lot on expanding the variety of the spell types, so there are more unique sorcery builds not just frost and Glintstone ones.
It would be great if you could make one of the primeval sorceries based on Sellen. Like maybe have that one be the end reward for her quest line (The reward you get after Rennala gets back).

Looks awesome! I would argue though that the storm magic should probably be incantations instead of sorceries. It fits them way better.
It's... a sorcery mod though?
this mod removes incantations and turns them all into sorceries to greatly expand the amount of sorceries.
You're right. A lot of styles of play were meant to be story wise anyways, between the two different forms of build, not universal. And storm would absolutely be incants considering where we get them.
If it's just for funs sake without any lore thought though it really doesn't matter though.
this mods replaces all incantations. so there's no point in doing that
the sound and visuals of many of these spells are downright majestic, the amount of builds one could make with these spells alone is crazy.

We were looking at which spells we would be able to use and all that but for his character (ice), there isnt very much variety for him in the vanilla game and any mod that just so happens to add ice spells (if there are any) were either just reskins of other spells or completely busted in terms of balance. Coincidently, that same day you announced that you were starting work on this mod, and i mentioned to him that we should wait on the playthrough until we can have this mod, even though we already created the characters. Super excited for this mod to come out so we can finally do the playthrough!
This will be by far my favourite Elden Ring mod, and imo the ONLY viable sorcery mod. What you did is honestly beyond impressive, you can be SO proud of yourself! Not only did you create great spells that you really fit into the official version of the game, but the balancing seems perfect and we can now finally have buffs through sorceries! In my opinion, your mod has the potential to bring so much variety of gameplay to the game, this is like getting a free DLC! I can't wait to start a new character and try your mod.
Well done fellow Tarnished, thy creativity befits a crown.
Elden ring reforged adds multiple new spells as well as an overhaul for the existing ones and the rest of the game as well. Each class even has a "generator" spell for it that does low damage and costs low fp but will Regen do on hit. This allows you to do a pure caster run without relying on a melee weapon out of fear of running out of fp
You should make a custom staff for each sorcery type that buffs that one type. So that if people wanted to roleplay with a cool build, then they could have the staff they want that fits their magic type. Great work. I love your content, and am super excited for this to release.
This looks like a really well made and funny overhaul. Fromsoft should hire people like you. A few guys per team, one team makes a skill overhaul, another one quests, another bosses etc.
All mods available as a modloader at the start menu.
Then when all is finished, release it as a DLC für 15 bucks, 50/50 split between creators and FromSoft. Or a fixed amount / normal contract hourly based.
A fine job with this mod, going to be fun to try it.
Hard work must be rewarded.
Well done good chap.
Its amazing how nothing looks "tacked" on. All the spells incorporate beautifully into the game. Sanguine Rupture and Great Storm Spear are my favs. I love how they actually protect the caster during start up. Absolutely fantastic work!
God, I wish people like you were on... Just every game's development team. Magic in video games has so much unrealized potential.
This is really awesome. Fromsoft's magic does commonly feel like an afterthought, always having so much potentislly but rarely living up to it. Ending up as a gunstick, with "fun" alternatives always being so many orders of magnitude less efficient that it makes you wonder why they're even in the game. I cant wait to see more of this mod.
On a tangentially related note, not that id expect a random YT comment to have any impact on your plans with this mod, but ive always thought casting staves, idols, etc being needed for spells as an uneccessary byproduct of older, more archaic mentalities for medieval fantasy. Especially now with weapon arts so fleshed out, it feels like magic should be able to be cast from a weapon or shield or whatnot (albeit with some minor damage or "# of learnable spells" penalty of course) as long as spell requirements are met. Just a passing thought though.
Your creativity and execution with mods like this is truly amazing! I'm wondering if you would consider doing a modding tutorial or two in the future for people inspired to make mods of their own even though they know next to nothing about it, like me.
People are really popping off with this modded content and you are NO exception!!
The stormveil spells look fucking insane, can't wait to try this out!!
Brother, you've done it. Im new to your channel, and now I'm never leaving! You truly know what you're doing, regardless of what your banner says.
3:33 This reminds me of something…
Kos…or some say KOSM. Do you hear our prayers?
OOOOOOO MAJESTIC! A hunter is a hunter even in a dream!
Idea for incantations:
1. Ice-lightning dragonbolt [works smilar to redlightning, but applies frost-lightning to weapon and increases resistance to frost massively
2. Death- Applies Death onto weapon
3. Death-Lightning Dragon-Bolt
(Slowly builds death-blight on the player, but applies standard lightnimg bolt buffs and applies death to weapon)
4. Destined Death Alternative: Applies the red destined death effect to weapon in off hand.
5. Ice Lightning Sphere: spawns an ball of ice-lightning, similar to Flame of the fell god, that builds frost when it explodes, then the ground leaves an electrical shock that is struck by a ice-lightning bolt
6. Beastial Rampage: Boost movement and attack speed, but increases damage taken
7. Ultimate Form of the Dragon Lord: Similar to Placcidusax's Ruin, but uses all 4 heads
8. Undead Revival: Revives you once after death, but with 1 hp, and capping your health til the boss is defeated/til you die and respawn
(Just a few ideas)
We love the look of these. It's an incredible amount of effort you've put into this, and you should be proud of it.
I look forward to trying this out!
One thing i will say, it does seem like most of these sorceries border on weak enough to be "why would i use this instead of X" levels of weak simply out of fear of otherwise being too op... If the spells are shown in this video to be with 80 int and a +10 carian scepter, it should definitely have comparable damage outputs to an 80 faith incantation like lightning spear, or a +25 regular weapon, and most of those should easily hit in the 600+ range, so most of these sorceries fall short in comparison on TOP of costing fp to use instead of being free. In my honest opinion, don't be afraid to let your sorceries shine, make sure they're useful enough that the fun of using them AND the strategic advantage of them being better choices for damage or status effects come together, this mod definitely feels like a celebration of all things magic so let the magic be the star. I think from what i've seen in the video, you could probably boost most numbers by around 15-30% and still have them be fairly balanced. 80 int +10 scepter should be peak magic, it's the strength of a build fully dedicated to being high damage, they should be past the median point of damage dealing in a comparable build of different qualities.
This looks really promising.
I hope you managed to give each school of magic its own identity as you said in the first announcement.
I prefer using faith spells/incantations in souls games, but I'll definitely check this out upon release !
I will ABSOLUTELY recreate my very first character just because I themed him around ancestral spirits and I headcanon that the shaman horns actually grew on his head and gave him spirit magic. Thanks to you, I'll be able to actually play it!!!!
Bro, this is BRILLIANT! You definitely got talent and creativity to make such an amazing mod happen. This is the best magic mod I've ever seen for Elden Ring, even though a lot of people tried. Such a wide and creative, yet balanced and not overloaded use of all sorts of animations brings joy to my heart and pleasure to my eyes. This is just outstanding!
Absolutely love the Support Sorceries here!
Sorceries in the base game are usually pretty fun to use, but compared to the ammount of options you have with incantations it felt like I'd be missing out leveling Intelligence. Ancestral Sorceries seem like they'll remedy that, and I'm down for it!
Hi Rusty! For an interesting casting focus, I was wondering if the mod could include an oath to the outer gods. Either the greater will or not...the idea goes like this: you need to do a gesture before the two fingers to gain a buff similar to a great rune. The implications in play are: you need to unlock the gesture to unlock the boon, and that leads to more quests. The fundamentalist 'T' pose, for example, could give a certain buff to holy dmg? Fire spur me, protects from fire dmg? The groveling something else, etc. I think it could add a whole layer to the game, and since you get Rapture the first time you meet the two fingers, from the crone, that should be the base buff? :) Erudition already is used to open seals...
Would be really cool to have a talk through of each spell, inspiration behind them lore wise and what made you create them for the game!
Just from this showcase i have to say this looks incredible. Im mostly impressed by how you managed to make them all interesting. they arent all just more ways of doing damage and they arent way over the top like you see many modders try. This feels like its going to be balanced but interesting without just filling the screen with overpowered projectiles. absolutely looking forward to this!!
I have never been so excited for a mod in my life and I love what you have done. And for the title of this mod I like the idea of (Arcane Eruption).
I can imagine Rusty with his tired eyes right now. Great video as always!!
i'm really excited to play this! with your situational awareness for finding best use cases for every spell and incantation, i trust your design process and balancing for spells.
just imagine what could be done with a total magic overhaul, we could get more scarlet rot and blood spells as well as maybe getting new spells from previous souls games, I would wait an eternity for it to release if it were made.
imagine this combine with the reforged mod ! this can become one of the greatest mod of elden ring
Love everything your doing here. Magic really has been a highlight of Eldenring for me. Especially love the mind control function.
(Was very sad to see Tibia's Summons was not actually a summon, Ashes are cool but I really wanted to have a minion or summon my pets to buff and heal.))
I really love how seamless these spells are, in the way that they really feel like they belong in the game. Really excited for this mods release, it looks awesome!
a good idea is to look at current spells like the glintstone arc and make a grander version of it, like make it bigger and have a special rebound or something, oh there can also be more sleep spells, but I feel that would require some insane balancing
so this is already mad impressive, but what makes this even crazier is that they ALL HAVE UNIQUE ICONS. spell icons especially are a pain in the dick to make because you can't just use a high rez picture of the model. amazing work
The work you're doing is unbelievable. Thank you so much
Favourite by far is Darkstar of the Naturalborn, shame I play on PS4 so I can't use these first hand. You should be proud of what you made
You gave many under appreciated classes way more options, while making them all unique instead of being mainly different in terms of numbers or statistics instead of actual usage. Very good rusty, but some things look pretty OP, like River of Knives and Great Storm Spear. At the very least I think Great Storm Spear’s knockback attack should be smaller.
Also, don’t make a mod for incantations, because I want to make one myself =)
Your storm sorcery that uses Bolt of Gransax' animation just reminded me of how much I just wish the Ancient Lightning Spear was a projectile, rather than an Ancient Lightning Stake...
We could've had both, no problem, if it was that important to have ANOTHER player centered aoe Ancient Dragon incantation.
Wow the wisps spell was gorgeous, nice job. Really creative. I really enjoyed the particles and movement of them
This looks so good because it’s not disgustingly flashy and OP like the other sorcery or AOW mods. If I wanted to play DMC I will play DMC. Thank you for this excellent contribution
Definitely will be downloading this. The storm sorceries will be especially useful in the co-op game I'll be playing.
SO COOOL! cant wait to play this! Its like when i first played convergence mod in DS3, bless you!
i am actually very excited for this,this mod from the detailed icons to the creative castings is truly captivating !! Great Job !
This looks great, but just to make sure you know about it, there’s something going on with the staff at 8:09, it either flips around or becomes a sword. Might want to fix that before the release
It doesnt flip or turn into a sword, the animation is just a little bit jarring with how fast the arm moves. Its a much clearer animation at 0.25x speed
Edit: that being said, now i realize that the player character's wrist moves unnaturally during the follow-up attack. This might be a vanilla problem though, as i believe most of these animations are taken from already-existing attacks
I just hope this isn't overlooked with all the other mods coming out this looks sick
My personal favorite is the one that sets a trap, it kinda creates an interesting play style in which you become a trapper. It would be fun to see that in online as it would make a few interesting mind games you have to play with your opponents on whether or not you want to run at them or not.
Dark souls magic will ALWAYS hold a place in my heart, for being the first unique non elemental magic system that really intrigued me.
But I cannot deny the coolness that it Elden ring magic, so much variety and with this mod it makes it even better !
I have never Modded before, and I've never really wanted to. But wow... I don't even have words for how exciting that looks.
I was bit mistaken as was the DLC spells but nope was a mode which to me looks so great like it was officially part of the game. Just amazing!
Wow, this looks incredible!
Please do incantations next!!
love from Japan!
I hope you make a video with a quick tip on them all. Your style of explaining and your humour would make it very awesome, :)
Also, a title: "Lost Spells From The Shattering". Nods to the shattering event of Elden Ring.
Its amazing to see how many of these genuinely make sense if you get what I mean
This is easily the coolest fucking mod ive seen, completely custom stuff and it seems to be adding onto the smaller cast of spells like yk blood which... Exists
These animations are breathtaking and the scope of this mod is ludicrous. I can see myself taking two or three different playthroughs to enjoy it all.
I'm literally gonna but Elden Ring again for PC just to try the mod. These look so well made and I can't wait to try out different combinations with them.
I love how these new editions aren’t just massive aoe attacks that 1 shot bosses (like other mods) but instead are thought out editions that could be added in
P.S i think it’d be interesting to make a sorcery (or incant if those are up next) where the enemy gets an Oman debuff and can’t heal with any outside source of healing, that way doing doing something like erdtree heal can be countered
I hope it comes out soon now. The wait is killing me 😂
Flavour text for River of Knives:
Although this sorcery was originally crafted by the Ancient Heroes of Zamor in the Erdtree forces' fabled war against the giants and their evil Fell Deity, it also became harshly reviled by the Zamor people, for it robbed them of an honourable fight against their mortal enemies. It is rumored that they forbade it in the aftermath of this historic battle due to its insidious effectiveness against giants.
This looks amazing! As someone who beat Elden Ring with sorceries, I can't wait to get back into it and explore all the new spells to role-play with!
In regards to naming - Sorceress Sellen comes to mind - Sorceress Sellen's School Of Magics - Something like that :)
Looks like Elden ring will be the next Skyrim when it comes to modding and this mod right here will be a must have for each playthrough. Would be amazing if Fromsoft contacted you guys and paid you to put these spells in the base game. It would make sorcery so much better and would make the world feel a lot more worth exploring.
My main complaint with sorcery in Elden ring would be the lack of some spell types being cast aside for example Briars of Punishment is the only thorn spell and that's sad because it would be cool to make a build around that particular type of element, but with this mod it seems like you guys focused a lot on expanding the variety of the spell types, so there are more unique sorcery builds not just frost and Glintstone ones.
Assuming these spells aren’t all just “win I”, buttons this will be very cool.
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! Awesome job!
Holy shit. These look amazing. I'm excited to use them when you release the mod, I can see many hours poured into a new int character in the future.
damm next level honestly Darkstar of the Naturalborn should be a official update
It would be great if you could make one of the primeval sorceries based on Sellen. Like maybe have that one be the end reward for her quest line (The reward you get after Rennala gets back).
