The vast, treacherous expanse of the Lands Between offers a path for every Tarnished, but for those who wield the sacred power of Faith, victory is not a matter of brute force but of divine, earth-shattering incantations. Since the cataclysmic events of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, the arsenal available to the faithful has exploded, offering a symphony of destruction and salvation that can turn the tide of any battle. From the primal roars of ancient dragons to the meticulous buffs that forge an unbreakable warrior, these spells are the ultimate tools for those who command the will of the gods. Forget mere swordplay; true power in 2026's meta lies in channeling the fundamental forces of the universe itself.

🐉 15. Glintstone Breath: The Arcane Inferno

When enemies scoff at holy light and laugh in the face of conventional fire, you must answer with arcane fury. Glintstone Breath is the premier solution, a divine invocation that momentarily transforms the caster into a terrifying, spectral dragon spewing a continuous torrent of magical, glintstone-tinged flames. This is not just for show; it delivers a staggering amount of damage over its duration. Astonishingly, for such a potent area-of-effect attack, it requires only 40 stamina to cast and can be unleashed even from the back of your spectral steed, making it perfect for hit-and-run tactics against resistant foes or clustered mobs. Acquiring this power is a rite of passage: journey to the Cathedral of Dragon Communion and offer a single, precious Dragon Heart at the altar to make this draconic devastation your own.

💥 14. Rejection: The Divine Shove

Not every problem requires incineration. Sometimes, you just need space. Enter Rejection, the quintessential utility incantation and a spellcaster's best friend. This deceptively simple spell unleashes a powerful, concussive shockwave of golden energy that blasts enemies away with tremendous force. Its utility is legendary:

• 🛡️ Instant Crowd Control: Creates immediate breathing room in hectic fights.

• 🏔️ Environmental Killer: A cleverly placed Rejection near a cliff edge can solve even the toughest enemy problems permanently.

• ⚡ Low Cost, High Reward: For a mere 600 runes from Brother Corhyn at the Roundtable Hold, you gain a tool that is indispensable for managing aggro and positioning.

🔥 13. Flame Sling: The Classic Fireball Perfected

Every pyromancer's journey begins with the desire to hurl a massive, satisfying fireball. Flame Sling is that fantasy realized to perfection. It conjures a sizable, roaring sphere of flame that you can launch at foes. Its beauty lies in its scalability and efficiency. The damage scales powerfully with your seal's potency and can be increased further by charging the cast. Despite its impressive power, it remains quick to cast, cheap on FP, and can even be chain-cast for relentless barrages. For 800 runes from Brother Corhyn, it's an essential cornerstone of any fire-focused build.

✋ 12. Catch Flame: The Melee Caster's Best Friend

Do not be fooled by its short range; Catch Flame is arguably one of the most brutally efficient damage-dealing incantations in the entire game. It creates a devastating explosion of fire directly in front of the caster. Its statistics are nothing short of spectacular for its role:

Attribute	Value	Impact
Stamina Cost	17	Allows for sustained aggression.
FP Cost	10	Incredibly efficient, enabling many casts.
Memory Slots	1	A trivial investment for immense power.
Cast Speed	Extremely Fast	Nearly instant, perfect for trading blows.

This incantation deals fire damage that scales directly with your seal, making it a boss-melter in the right hands. Purchase it from Brother Corhyn for 600 runes and feel its raw power.

💪 11. Flame, Grant Me Strength: The Unbreakable Buff

Why just deal damage when you can deal more damage? Flame, Grant Me Strength is a non-negotiable buff for any build incorporating physical or fire attacks. For a paltry 16 stamina, it bestows a suite of incredible enhancements for 30 seconds:

• ⚔️ +20% Physical Damage (15% in PvP)

• 🔥 +20% Fire Damage (15% in PvP)

• ♻️ +11% Stamina Recovery Speed

Furthermore, this incantation stacks with other buffs like Golden Vow, allowing for damage multipliers that can trivialize even the DLC's most fearsome bosses. Found in the scorching Caelid region, it is the key to unlocking your true potential.

😱 10. The Flame of Frenzy: Long-Range Madness

For dealing with groups or applying pressure from safety, The Flame of Frenzy is a top-tier choice. It unleashes a chaotic barrage of yellow flame projectiles that inflict Madness, damaging both the target's health and focus. Its true power is unlocked with a full charge, which increases the number of projectiles and their range dramatically. Key traits include:

• 🎯 Excellent for staggering enemies (up to 56 stance damage when fully charged!).

• ⚠️ Beware: Prolonged use builds Madness in the caster as well.

• 💡 Perfect for punishing boss attack animations from a distance.

🐲 9. Greyoll's Roar: The Dragon's Debilitating Cry

Some spells win fights not by dealing damage, but by crippling the enemy's ability to fight back. Greyoll's Roar, channeling the power of the legendary elder dragon, is the master of this art. While costly to cast, its effect is game-changing: a tremendous roar that significantly reduces the attack power and defense of all enemies in a wide area. This debuff turns overwhelming foes into manageable threats and turns tough duels into one-sided slaughters. It is the ultimate strategic tool, earned by claiming the power of Greyoll herself.

❤️ 8. Heal: The Foundational Sustenance

Survivability is paramount. The standard Heal incantation is a reliable, efficient, and vital tool for any Faith user. It restores a substantial chunk of health for a relatively low FP cost and does not demand an exorbitant Faith investment to be effective. While its casting speed is moderate, its value is immeasurable. It frees up your Crimson Flasks for emergencies in combat, allowing for greater longevity during exploration and boss fights. Always keep a healing incantation slotted; your survival depends on it.

🐉 7. Dragonfire: The Primal AOE Barrage

Embodying the raw, untamed power of the ancient dragons is a thrill every Tarnished should experience. Dragonfire (and its frost twin, Dragonice) allows you to do just that. The caster temporarily transforms, unleashing a broad, continuous cone of devastating fire that chews through groups of enemies and melts the stance of larger foes. Although it consumes FP rapidly during the channel, the damage output and area coverage are phenomenal. It is the definitive choice for clearing rooms and applying massive pressure, obtainable through Dragon Communion.

⚡ 6. Knight's Lightning Spear: The Spear of Divine Retribution

Hailing from the Shadow of the Erdtree, Knight's Lightning Spear has cemented itself as a meta-defining incantation. It conjures and hurls a precise, fast-moving spear of lightning that is notoriously difficult for enemies to dodge. Its advantages are clear:

• 🚀 Incredible Cast Speed and Projectile Velocity: Almost guaranteed to hit.

• ⚡ High Damage per FP: Excellent efficiency for its impact.

• 🎯 Reliable Stance Damage: Great for breaking enemy posture.

With a manageable 36 Faith requirement and a low 20 FP cost, this incantation offers incredible value and is a cornerstone of modern hybrid Faith builds seeking a powerful, spammable ranged option. This is the new standard for lightning-based aggression in the Lands Between.

In conclusion, the path of the Faith build in 2026 is one of glorious, versatile supremacy. By mastering this repertoire of incantations—from the foundational heals and buffs to the apocalyptic dragon breaths and lightning spears—a Tarnished does not just challenge the world; they command it. The very elements become your weapons, and the will of the gods becomes your strength. Now, go forth and incinerate, shatter, heal, and dominate. The Erdtree awaits your divine judgment. 🌟
