Magic is a powerful tool inDemon’s Souls, as many enemies are weak to it. Not only that, but it also has the ability to provide great utility, allowing players to specialize their resistances to certain types of damage or even heal allied spirits during co-op. Because of this, getting more magic spells is going to be a bit priority for a lot of players, but it isn’t entirely clear how to do that early on in the game. InotherSoulsgames, players can find spells while adventuring, but in this game the only way to get spells is to purchase them.
Naturally, that means spending Souls. This can sometimes be a difficult choice since it means delaying leveling up a bit, but usually the utility or damage capability of a spell outweighs the few stat points players could get instead. There are also certain spells that can only be learned by trading boss souls. To get these, players will need to defeat specificDemon’s Soulsbosses and claim their souls for themselves. Regardless of the method, learning new spells is very important for magic characters, so it’s equally important to know where they all are and what they all do.
