Spira is an Incantation in Elden Ring. It was added with the Shadow of the Erdtree DLCSpira continuously conjures spirals of light that erupts at the enemy's feet.

 


Superior sorcery of the tower priests,
wielded as an incantation of the spiral.

Wrap one's arms together and hold them up to the heavens
to summon a spiral of light that erupts at the enemy's feet.
Column of light persists for as long as the button is pressed.

The spiral is a normalized Crucible current that, one day,
will form a column that stretches to the gods.

      wild how they looked at honed bolt and said, I bet we can make this worse in literally every way, while also making an incredibly cool looking spell... Even if you increased the range (In line with gravity bolt range would be reasonable), increased the tracking to the point that an enemy had to at least be running to avoid this rather than a brisk walk and increased the frequency of casting... it would still struggle to justify being a 2 slot incantation. I get that this is right on the line for just being a ganking tool, but this could have been one of the coolest holy damage spells in the game if they just would let it be good.

        Those 2 casters on that stair case are the ones that make you think this is good. It could have been.bettee. much better. Either it's faster with less damage or a bigger range or something.

          Ah, the spiral of death. Summoners challenge the bringer of death, Sin, and die doing so. Guardians give their lives to protect their summoner. The fayth are the souls of the dead. Even the maesters of Yevon are unsent. Spira is full of death. Only Sin is reborn. And then, only to bring more death. It is a cycle of death, spiraling endlessly.

            Made a build with spiral incants for co-op, some things to note:

            This incant does NOT spend stamina after the initial cast. Same principle as Comet Azur or Meteorite

            There seems to be a bug relating to bosses with cutscenes inbetween phases. In my case, Messmer was staggered and riposted by a fellow phantom. I timed the Spira to when he was vulnerable again and some of spiras hit him, which triggered the phase 2 cutscene. The host skipped the cutscene within 1-2 seconds and when the fade in happened, i lost all my FP (some 170~ish) and simultaneuosly multiple spiras spawned on Messmers pre-cutscene location. So protip: dont hold down the attack button with this spell if a cutscene is about to occur

            Otherwise, this spell is ok, with its best utility being overworld engagements and/or with allies that can keep aggro. In terms of continuously attacking spells it's very low committal because of it's initial FP cost being the same as the following ones, with decently fast casting speed and you can cancel chaining the casts into roll pretty early after each spira. The only thing that bothers me about this spell is the 2 memory slot requirement and its disappointing range

            • why is this so dogwater. the new rings of light is better than this in every regard.

              maybe if they buffed the scaling and give it more range, then maybe it would be usable

                I wish this functioned like the version used by those two annoying hornsent priests in Enir-Ilim. Instead of one singular spiral, it's a small AoE of them around the target. Keep the chain casting, with the location updating with the enemy movements.

                Basically a holy version of Burn, O FLame! or ADLS, albeit much weaker in exchange for the range and chain castability. Would definitely be worth the 2 spell slot (lol) and FP cost.

                  this should be a 20 faith 1 slot spell as requirements and faster casting and 7 fp used so it's paltry damage isn't such a massive turn off.

                    It feels like this spell doesn't have a lot of thought behind it, it costs 2 spell slots to carry, it has a stationary casting animation, slow consecutive attacks that don't get progressively stronger and low damage even when boosted by talismans and holy buffs.

                    Why would I use this over any throwable spell that can do twice as much damage? We can't use the Crucible Centaur or Crucible Frog Tongue incants but hey here's a spinny whirly doohickey i guess....

                      If they improved the max cast range and dodgey line of sight requirements, it might be an OK spell. Until then, stick with Honed Bolt.

                        My jaw opened so wide when I saw this took two slots that I almost, unironically, dislocated my jaw in disbelief. Who is this for?

                          This spell needs a buff, but if we get the classic overboard buff it’ll become insanely op & annoying. Imagine fighting those praying enemies that fling this thing in the emir-ilim

                            Honestly the Golden Arcs are just faith versions of Glintstone Arc, we could have gotten those spiral waves from the shade sorcerers on the Belurat bridge that coulda been like faith Shard Spiral.

                              No idea why this takes 2 slots. Bro Honed Bolt does the same with more range and higher damage and better accuracy (because it comes out faster) for 1 slot.

                                If japanese games taught me anything, this is the second tier spell, followed by third tier version, Spiraga

                                  With a little bit more tracking and more range it would be very good. The buff is noticeable but it's still a mediocre spell.

                                    Shame we didn't get something similar than the spiral projectiles we see some enemies using in Belurat. Honestly I think this incantation would be a lot better if it used the same cast animation as Honed Bolt/Lightning Strike.

                                      'Superior sorcery of the tower priests wielded as an incantation' huh?

                                      I feel these could have been more unique if they could be casted with either seals or staves and technically casted as both sorceries and incantations thus; and would fit the lore description too since it outright states it's both.

                                        it's honestly not that bad, but definitely flawed. I don't think it'd take much to buff this spell to a state where it could be really solid (any combination of faster cast time, less delay on the spirals, more range, etc.)

                                            What would make this spell actually viable is if instead of holding it to continually cast it, like a watered down Comet Azur, was if it instead followed the target and erupted every few second. Be fun as hell to use to punish swift slash-ers.

                                              I think that they've been balancing these spells blindfolded, there's no other reason to explain why they're so universally terrible.

                                                Casts too long
                                                Delay is too long
                                                Range is too low
                                                Damage is kinda low considering the above

                                                Why can't we spam it like those tree mages enemies on stairs?

                                                • Now, it's an interesting spell, pretty annoying to acquire along with it's faith requirements (and the 2 slots lol), and there's variants of this being casted in Belurat where it functions similar to the Spiral Shard sorcery, but travels much faster, and similar to Wrath I guess too in later parts. Considering how easily accessible the Sacred Seal is that corresponds with these incantations, these should've been much versatile and easier to get honestly, questionable design choices.

                                                      If it had more range, it would be good. You can hold it to channel repeated bursts, but since you’re immobile and the range is short this can’t be maintained safely. Also… 2 memory slots? Maybe just one.

                                                        Lol but why! 2 slots; you have to stand still, totally exposed, keeping casting it and draining all your fp, for What? Damage is average and the tracking is awful; oh, and no, it doesn’t stagger. And just a question: when, in this case, you can fight without moving? Ahaha this spell is for trolling

                                                          I wasn't expecting this thing to be the most OP incantation in the game, but for 48 faith and 2 memory slots I figured it'd be at least LOOK impressive. Instead you just repeatedly summon a small whirlwind that does moderate damage but frequently misses.

                                                            • it's trash. damage is acceptable but the tracking is terrible. enemy that slow walk can ignore it and the worst part is that the range is so small. it needs the range of light of miquella, but it only reaches about 10 steps away from you, also doesn't work from higher ground.

                                                                Does this item imply DNA, the building block that living things creates themselves of, is the key to reaching godhood? "normalized" crucible current might mean the already existing ones are not yet refined enough to teach that ideal, but they will someday.

Seems like it would be really annoying to deal with someone casting this if they are in a group and have a lot of FP... at least it can be strafed easily it seems. Just keeps them on the move so they have to either take cover or do short attacks else get punished.
