Elden Ring provides players with a variety of options when it comes to choosing a playstyle for their playthrough, be it using various weapons like Swords, Katanas, and Greatswords for closed-quarter combat or using magic and spells for ranged combat. Fromsoft's open-world title features plenty of different ways for players to stay engaged. When it comes to magic in Elden Ring, the game offers two ways for the players to make use of it, one in the form of Sorceries and the other being Incantations. Incantations provide a wide array of utilities from healing to debuffs and offense, and it takes time to cast them; Sorceries are hard-hitting magic spells that can be cast at a great speed.
