Ah, the Golden Order Incantations. They stand as a testament to the bizarre and often contradictory nature of the Golden Order itself. One moment, you're wielding the fundamental laws of reality; the next, you're wondering if the developers had a good chuckle when they balanced these spells. It's a collection that runs the gamut from world-shatteringly powerful to... well, let's just say you'd be better off throwing a rock. With the world of the Lands Between still expanding in 2026, these incantations remain a fascinating, if sometimes frustrating, part of any Tarnished's toolkit. They're like that one eccentric relative—you're not sure why they do what they do, but you can't look away.
9. Order Healing: The Panic Button That's All Button, No Panic
You'd think a spell designed to counter Death Blight—the nasty stuff that turns you into a withered corpse-tree—would be a lifesaver. Talk about false advertising! 
Order Healing is the magical equivalent of using a teacup to bail out a sinking ship. The problem is twofold: you can't cast it after you're already dead (obviously), and if you cast it while standing in a Death Blight cloud, the meter just starts filling right back up the second the golden sparkles fade. You achieve basically the same effect by just... walking away. To add insult to injury, there aren't even that many enemies that inflict Death Blight in the first place! Finding this spell feels like a cosmic joke—it drops from a Teardrop Scarab in the Siofra Aqueduct, as if the universe is saying, "Here, have this. It's useless."
| Stat | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Faith | 11 |
| Intelligence | 11 |
| FP Cost | 15 |
| Effect | Removes Death Blight Buildup. |
8. Immutable Shield: The 30-Second Wonder (If You Can Call It That)
This incantation makes you scratch your head and ask, "Why?" 
Immutable Shield promises to make your shield nullify status effects and elemental damage for a whole 30 seconds. Sounds neat, right? Well, the fine print is a doozy. First, it doesn't stop environmental gunk like poison swamps—so much for wading through Caelid in style. Second, most enemies in the Lands Between are polite enough to mix in a healthy dose of physical damage with their elemental attacks, so you're still getting clobbered. To top it all off, it demands a hefty 19 points in both Faith and Intelligence, a stat investment that makes most builds just shrug and move on. You don't even get it until Brother Corhyn decides to take a stroll to the Leyndell colosseum. It's a solution in search of a problem that doesn't really exist.
| Stat | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Faith | 19 |
| Intelligence | 19 |
| FP Cost | 15 |
| Effect | Shield nullifies status/elemental damage for 30s. |
7. Law of Causality: The High-Risk, Questionable-Reward Gambit
Here's the deal: get hit five times, then go BOOM. 
Law of Causality is the definition of a fun but flawed idea. The theory is beautiful—tank a few blows, then retaliate with a massive holy explosion. The reality? In a game where a boss can end you in two hits, voluntarily taking five is a one-way ticket back to the Site of Grace. It's the spell you use when you want to feel clever, right before you feel very, very dead. As a general rule, you're better off casting something that, you know, does something immediately. Still, for the true mad scientists of spellcraft, it's a unique toy. You can get it from Gideon Ofnir after dealing with Mohg, or from the Twin Maiden Husks if he's already left the stage.
| Stat | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Faith | None |
| Intelligence | 29 |
| FP Cost | 22 |
| Effect | Explodes after taking 5 hits. |
6. Litany of Proper Death: The Undead Specialist (and That's It)
If your enemy is not a shambling corpse, just... put this one away. 
Litany of Proper Death is the most specialized tool in the box. Against the Undead, it's a holy wrecking ball, dealing massive damage and capitalizing on their weakness. Against anything with a pulse? It's about as useful as a chocolate teapot. The damage plummets, and hitting anything with its ground-cast wave is awkward at best. It looks incredibly cool—a wave of golden scripture washing over the land—but cool doesn't kill a Runebear. You can grab it from D, Hunter of the Dead, but unless you're planning a skeleton-only playthrough, it's mostly for show.
| Stat | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Faith | 17 |
| Intelligence | 17 |
| FP Cost | 17 |
| Effect | Wide-area Holy damage (bonus vs. Undead). |
5. Order's Blade: The Paler Imitation
Why use this when Electrify Armament exists? That's the million-rune question. 
Order's Blade buffs your weapon with Holy damage, which sounds fine until you realize that a huge number of major bosses and enemies shrug Holy damage off like it's nothing. Lightning damage, from Electrify Armament, is far less commonly resisted. To add insult to injury, Order's Blade demands higher stat investment (13 Faith/Int vs. Electrify's 15 Faith) for a generally weaker result. It's like choosing a dull sword over a sharp one because the dull one has a fancier hilt. If you're absolutely determined, D sells it after you meet Gurranq.
| Stat | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Faith | 13 |
| Intelligence | 13 |
| FP Cost | 22 |
| Effect | Buffs weapon with Holy damage. |
4. Law of Regression: The Ultimate Party Pooper
This spell doesn't deal damage; it deals in annihilation. 
Law of Regression is the weird kid who brings an eraser to a paintball fight. It wipes the slate clean in a large area, removing all buffs, status effects, and even deleting magical projectiles mid-air. In PvP, it's hilarious to watch a fully-buffed opponent suddenly become very naked and very annoyed. Of course, they'll probably just recast everything, leading to a FP-draining stalemate. In PvE, its use is situational but can be clutch against buffing enemies. Its true, non-negotiable value lies in completing Goldmask's questline. You can buy it from Corhyn or Miriel after handing over the Golden Order Principia, found in that weirdly placed chair in the Erdtree Sanctuary.
| Stat | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Faith | None |
| Intelligence | 37 |
| FP Cost | 55 |
| Effect | Negates all magic/buffs in an area. |
3. Radagon's Rings of Light: The "Get Off Me!" That's Hard to Use
A pure area-of-effect (AoE) spell in Elden Ring is a tricky proposition. 
Radagon's Rings of Light sends a single, beautiful ring of holy damage expanding outwards. The issue? If you're surrounded by enemies as a spellcaster, you're probably already dead. The casting time is a luxury you often don't have. It's also mediocre against single targets, as it only hits them once. Its niche is clearing out large, slow groups—think of those poor, farming-fodder Albinaurics in Mohgwyn Palace. For that, it's satisfyingly effective. Like Law of Regression, it's a purchase from Corhyn or Miriel after you provide the Golden Order Principia.
| Stat | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Faith | 31 |
| Intelligence | 31 |
| FP Cost | 21 |
| Effect | Launches a ring of Holy damage in all directions. |
2. Triple Rings of Light: More Rings, More Problems?
Three rings must be better than one, right? Well, it's complicated. 
Triple Rings of Light shoots out three rings that expand and then return to you. Each ring can hit an enemy twice (out and back), but maximizing that damage requires careful positioning—it's kind of tricky, to be honest. Where it shines is against groups or highly mobile bosses, as the three rings cover a ridiculous amount of area. The catch? You need a dedicated Int/Faith build to use it, and, like all Holy damage, it bounces harmlessly off many late-game bosses. You'll find it behind an Imp Statue seal in Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree, making it a true end-game acquisition.
| Stat | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Faith | 23 |
| Intelligence | 23 |
| FP Cost | 23 |
| Effect | Launches three holy rings that return. |
1. Discus of Light: The Humble, Unstoppable Workhorse
Don't let its simplicity fool you; this is the secret MVP. 
Discus of Light is a masterpiece of efficiency. For a mere 3 FP—the cheapest spell in the entire game—you get a holy disc that flies out and returns, potentially hitting twice. You can spam this thing all day long without a care for your FP bar. Its stat requirements are modest (13 Faith/Int), making it accessible to a wide range of builds. Its only real flaw is that you get it a bit late, from Brother Corhyn on the Altus Plateau after he finds Goldmask. In a family of oddballs and specialists, Discus of Light is the reliable, humble sibling who quietly gets the job done, proving that sometimes, the simplest tools are the most enduring.
| Stat | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Faith | 13 |
| Intelligence | 13 |
| FP Cost | 3 |
| Effect | Launches a small holy ring that returns. |
So there you have it, the Golden Order's gallery of the great and the... not-so-great. They reflect the Order itself: powerful in theory, often baffling in practice, and always with a hint of deeper, weirder lore tied to figures like Miquella. Whether you're a fundamentalist purist or just a Tarnished looking for an edge, these incantations remind us that in the Lands Between, power often comes with a hefty dose of peculiarity. 🎭
