- Azur's Glintstone Staff reduces the casting time of all Sorceries, but increases the amount of FP consumed.
All Crystalian Sorceries
AnonymousVery underrated group of spells. If DLC adds a quick bread and butter spell and something akin to white dragon breath Crystallian sorceries will be good enough to be their own thing i belive.
Shattering Crystal is a good slow burst damage option
Crystal Torrent is actually better than comet Azur in my opinion.
Crystal Release is a bit finicky but it either has a hyperarmor boost or it outright ignores poise damage when cast. I've witnessed multiple times in invasions it didn't get canceled by an attack. It also deals incredible damage with two staffs on
Another cool thing about this spell school is that they have two Glintstone Staves in the base game, which means you don't need NG+ or a friend dropping you anything to get them take advantage of dual staff boost.
The only problem is Crystal Spear and Sword are straight up doodoo. Both of their Int scaling is basically dookie water, they don't have ashes of war that scale with int like death weapons do either. So it's impossible to stay in theme with them. Leave it to Fromsoft to Ruin staying within a single theme.

So the gimmick with Crystalian Sorcery is that they deal very quick multiple hits per-cast. However, unless your Character is highly invested in Intelligence, you won't be able to get the best results. With 80 Int/Terra Magica/ Lusat's G Staff Crystal Release x2 dealt roughly 8100 damage on the Mountaintops Trolls.

Crystal sorcs suck .Best spell in the game is rock sling. Other useful ones are lorettas great bow and glinstone ice crag. Spiral shard has great tracking. Other than rock sling and spiral, enemies can dodge. And the slicer spells have too much wind up at close range. Pure sorc build is tough to play because of that.
