Talismans | Dark Souls Wiki


Talismans are a Weapon Category that enables players to cast Miracles in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered.

Magic Adjustment (Mag Adj) is a special stat unique to spell casting weapons, and determines the amount of damage spells will do. Its potency scales with the relevant character Stat (Intelligence, Int; or Faith, Fth). The higher the Mag Adj, the stronger the spell's effect (note: some spells, such as Chameleon, are not affected by this stat). Be aware that the Mag Adj on different catalysts will scale differently. Specifically, they have different: base Mag Adj, max Mag Adj, and scaling. As some catalysts are meant to be used at lower levels (Oolacile, for example), they will reach their optimal scaling level sooner than those meant to be higher level catalysts (Logan's).

  • Not obtainable by normal means.
  • Even though it is categorized as a Talisman in the game's code, Gwynevere's Talisman does not actually cast miracles; it is completely unfinished.

      #1 Darkmoon by a little bit but can only be obtained through PVP
      #2 Sunlight and Ivory tie and are pretty much as good as Darkmoon, they got different minimum *FAITH* requirements to be able to use each
      #3 Canvas is a default for the Cleric which is great
      #4 Kind of a tie between these 3:
      -Talisman(stupid naming cuz there's a whole class of "Talismans") - basic byatch gear, nothing special
      -Velka's - only if you're going for a pure *INT* build
      -Thorolund - weakest and doesn't get better but it's the perfect choice if u don't care about your *FAITH* cuz it's the best at 10-26 *FAITH*

        as I wanted Velka's talisman to allow me to use miracles and sorceries, to be able to use sunlight spear and crystal soul spear at the same time without changing equipment would be very good!
