Elden Ring: Best Early Sorcery Spells (And Where to Get Them)

gamerant.com:

Elden Ring has a greater focus on magic than previous FromSoftware titles, and there are two kinds that players can learn: Incantations and Sorceries. Of the two, Sorceries are more focused on damage and ranged-firepower, and scale from Intelligence. Whether players are building a pure sorcerer or a hybrid character, knowing which Sorceries to equip is essential to making the most of Elden Ring's magic.

In true Soulslike fashion, Elden Ring challenges players right from the tutorial, and finding the best early-game Sorceries is essential to a Sorcerer character's survival.

Fortunately for Astrologers, the spell they start with is one of the best early game Sorceries; Glintstone Pebble is a single target missile spell that is quick to cast, consumes only seven of Elden Ring's Focus Points, and does a surprising amount of damage.

For classes that don't begin with Glintstone Pebble, it can be bought for 1000 Runes from either Sorceress Sellen in Limgrave: Waypoint Ruins, or Thops at the Church of Irith.

Players looking to upgrade Glintstone Pebble should try to find Rock Sling, a Gravity Sorcery that summons three large, homing rocks to smash into enemies. Although Rock Sling uses more FP than Glintstone Pebble, it deals more damage and has a good chance to stagger or knock enemies back.

The easiest way to find the Rock Sling Sorcery in Elden Ring's early game is to open the trapped chest at the bottom of the stairs in the Dragon Burnt Ruins in Limgrave. This chest will transport players directly to Caelid, where Rock Sling can be found at the bottom of a stone staircase on the eastern side of the Street of Sage Ruins.
