Best Sorceries In Elden Ring

gamespot.com:

Magic has always been a viable strategy in From Software games, and Elden Ring is no exception. Whether you want to take down enemies with spells from a distance, or reap the benefits of sorcerous weapons like the Moonveil or Dark Moon Greatsword, the incentive is there more than ever to dump points into Intelligence. It's important for any mage to wield a well-rounded arsenal of spells to take on any situation. These are the must-have and best Sorceries to get you through Elden Ring from start to finish.

Astrologers will start the game with Glintstone Pebble right out the gate, which is wild, because it's easily one of the best spells in the game. At only 7 FP, you can easily mow down most enemies from a safe distance. The magic projectiles can even be chained together, provided you have the stamina to do so. With incredible range and one of the quickest windups in the game, you'll be using Glintstone Pebble from Limgrave to Miquella's Haligtree.

For non-Astrologers, you can still pick up the spell early. Head to the Waypoint Ruins in Limgrave to buy it from Sorceress Sellen for only 1,000 Runes.

The frosty counterpart to Glintstone Pebble, Glintstone Icecrag is a spell you'll want in your inventory as soon as possible. It's a bit more expensive and slower to cast, but it applies Frostbite buildup on its targets--just a few hits should be enough to fill the meter on most enemies. This is especially useful in boss fights, since Frostbite lowers enemies' damage absorption.
