Magic Downpour | Elden Ring Wiki

Update: Godfrey Icon increases damage per hit from this spell as well if it's charged. Went from 157 to 181 per hit.

Definitely one of the cooler carian spells, looks like a moon guiding stars down onto enemies

Submit

Ah yes, these look like glintblades

Submit

I'm a int build and this spell works great along with the lustats scepter and moon veil katana

Submit

A couple of lore based questions here: Isn't this sorcery supposed to the Glintstone variant of "Crystal Release"? Furthermore, instead of it being a carian sorcery, shouldn't it be a sorcery of the Crystal Cadre Conspectus?

Submit

Any good as a defensive spell? I've been using a horn bow build and wanted to add some support spells, and I was debating between this and glintblade phalanx. It's not like I'm going to be getting very much int because horn bow scales better off dex and strength, so I'm looking for specifically defensive utility, to set up a weapon art or maybe a terra magica.

Submit

This spell along with some fire resistance and a mana tear in flask made the magma wyrm at mount gelmir really easy. I was carrying the glintblade staff and did notice the damage difference

Submit

TIP: Cast the Magic Downpour(s), then stand under it and use Carian Retaliation. Now that's a phalanx.

Submit

Projectiles could probably do with being a little faster, its not like they track so its not like it would be broken or anything

Submit

Makes people freak out when they're at low hp, its like fan daggers but funnier

Submit

it's alright.. rogier makes it look cooler though

Submit

why does this page says it is boosted by carian glintblade staff, but isnt listed on the carian glintblade staff page? sorry for the bad english

Submit

Magic Downpour, Rykard's Rancor and Elden Stars make for one of the awesome visual combos you can cast. So much starts just happening and it looks really cool.

Submit

Is this good even with low INT? I've been wondering if the 18 or so INT you have to invest to use fun weapons like the alabaster lord's sword or the meteoric ore blade could be used to cast a spell or two, and this seems like it'd be decent as area denial even without the damage to back it up.

Submit

this spell is great vs big bosses whose attack frequency amps up as their hp drops. it casts quickly, tracks, does solid damage, and adds a substantial amount to your dps even when youre dodging and healing. was very clutch vs placidusax and elden beast. crystal release wishes it was this useful

Submit

Fun fact: This spell DOES track. Notice how when you cast it, it turns to face the closest enemy from it? From my observations, it's usually only one streak of the downpour that tracks in the general direction of whatever the spell is aiming at. I think it's intentionally designed like this else the bullets would be way too randomized to hit anything. Normally I would say that this spell is kind of lackluster. However, the only saving grace with this spell is that the bullets actually flinches a lot of things, making it a great spell to use closely on bosses like Malenia (especially in co-op since it can interrupt her) where she is very prone to getting staggered.

Can you still get it after you killed Miriam at the inverted study hall?

Submit

Very good with high intelligence and has a lot of utility. Mainly use it for burst damage to get off other spells or a cover fire for a flask. Cast it with Lusat’s and watch it melt enemies. I really recommend revisiting this sorcery bc it was indeed garbage at lower levels.

Submit

So if this is a carian sorcery that isn’t buffed by either carian staff, but it is detailed to be taught by crystalians, is it buffed by the crystal staff?

Submit

first glitch about this spell? anyone herlp me with this please.. I didn't start NG+ cause my OC collector complex got right back at me and i started looking for things i missed, but the fact is.. i beat Miriam long ago and i don't find this spell nowhere on myself.. just to be sure i even got back to the tower couple of times and reloaded areas but no sings of her and the drop is forever lost(?)
Fixable with going in NG+ i know.. but

Submit

Fun in co op, at least

Submit

As trash as crystal hail from DS3?

Submit

Probably my favorite spell, not useful in every scenario, but helps a lot against certain ennemies, especially medium to large size one.

Submit

At high levels of int, far, far more FP efficient than glintstone pebble for its damage, and will reliably always deal damage.

Submit

I can’t use it but i have everything required like faith is at 20

Submit

Didn't drop for me. Just killed Miriam in the inverted study hall and all I got wasa gesture that dropped from her.

Submit

This spell in the current 1.03 patch can proc the broken Carina Retaliation shield parry. Works also with Founding Rain of Stars

Submit

just some question, can test it since i'm not home for 5 days onward, 1st this spell is chargeable right, which mean godfrey's talisman should've work and add 15% more duration + old lord's talisman which add 30% more duration, well can someone do the test for me, thank y'all

Submit

Very viable against Crucible Knights who use shields and the mad pumkin heads, it doesn't get blocked by the pumkin like almost every other sorcery, and it almost stunlocks shield crucible knights, meaning its much easier than most other magics against them. Also been using it to kill Nightriders to medium effect, they're still scary but this allows me to kite them while having better fp-to-dps ratio than Glintblade Phalanx by far. Still experimenting, but mainly using it on enemies that don't give me enough time to spam my other spells so I just spam these at full-charge

Submit

Works very well on large bosses. I can melt dragons in no time with this, but you need to get really close for it to be effective.

Submit

This is listed as "Glintstone" in the Sorcery list. But here it's listed as Carian. It does carry the Carian sigil so why is it listed as Glintstone in the list?

Submit

Surprising very good against (large) bosses. Especially if you ride Torrent. The Orb casts from higher up, and it is literally a beautiful sky full of magic stars floating to hit large bosses. No as bad as past versions.

Submit

This spell is *almost* really good but not enough of the projectiles will land to be worth the FP cost. Yes you can spam several of these and get solid dps but it is not efficient FP wise and smart players will simply walk away from it.

Submit

"Said to have been taught by the Crystalians to mark the swearing
of the old concord" of course, the worst enemy teaching the worst npc

Submit

Where Miriam uses it. It constantly hits you, but when I use it... it can't hit the backside of a barn.

Submit

For anyone having trouble killing the boss to get it to drop. Run past him when he first spawns to kill all of the specters ahead of time before he teleports then go back and defeat him.

Submit

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but on Dragonlord Placidusax, I spammed Magic Downpour and it seemed like his AI broke and he just stood there until he died. His poise didn't appear to be broken nor did he move when hit. Either way, this ability is very powerful against larger enemies.

Submit

It's okay, decent in PvP for keeping scared opponents away, wont do much when someone tanky doesn't care and runs in to beat you up anyways. Only cast this if you're confident they wont punish you.

Submit

This may be missable, I I verted the tower first and got lucidity.

You get this from the invader in the study hall here https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/interactive+map?id=1516&lat=-141.570312&lng=81.219718&zoom=8
