Sources and community notes

  • This spell was recommended by players in a May 2024 thread asking which spells are worth using.
  • Spells are cast by cycling to a sigil with the mouse wheel and pressing the wheel to commit it; a spell fires automatically on the fourth glyph, and players say you can prepare three of the four in advance. Rings and the Wizard Idol reduce the blood cost.
  • The Spells guide gives the sigil order as Moon, Eye, Moon, Chalice, and describes the effect as: significantly increases your weapon's damage for a while.
  • The sigil order above was read from the diagram images in the Spells guide. Four of them (the Grand Jump, Summon Food, Summon Demon and the Spell of Return) match sequences given independently in the achievements guide and a forum thread, which is why the readings are given here rather than left as images.
  • A strategy guide suggests preparing the first three sigils in advance and completing the spell inside the boss room just before attacking, so none of the effect is wasted.
