Magma Shot Lore

Magma Shot Effects

Magma Shot is a spell where the caster fires a lump of magma that explodes upon contact, spreading molten lava. The lava damages anything that touches it and will linger for 5 seconds before disappearing.

Charging the spell increases its damage at the cost of extending its cast time. To avoid getting interrupted while casting the spell, consider using spirit ashes to distract your foes for you.

How to Get Magma Shot

Obtained Through Lady Tanith

To get this spell you must first join the Volcano Manor as a recusant through Lady Tanith. Joining the Volcano Manor will activate her questline. After completing Tanith's first request to invade Old Knight Istvan, report back to her and you will be rewarded with the Magma Shot spell.

How to Use Magma Shot

Effective Against a Single Target

Magma Shot is best used against a single enemy and is a good spell for dealing Fire damage both instantly and over time. The lava pool left on the floor does not deal that much damage and most enemies can walk past it with minimal damage dealt to their HP.

It is much faster to cast than Roiling Magma, deals significantly less damage but it does use less FP and can be used as a Fire-based Glintstone Pebble.

Can be Charged for Longer Duration and Reach

Holding down the skill button will charge up the spell and will increase the damage dealt by the projectile and since it is a chargeable spell, the Godfrey Icon can improve its effect further.

Damage Can be Buffed with Additional Equipment

Magma Sorceries are best paired with the Gelmir Glintstone Staff as it will boost the effectiveness of Magma Sorceries.

You can increase the damage of Magma Shot with the Fire Scorpion Charm but it is to note that while this talisman is equipped, your damage negation is lowered.
