Whether you prefer wielding heavy weapons to crush your enemies or dual-wielding two swords for stylish combos, the game accommodates your choices. Not only that, it also introduces various magic options into the mix.
If you’re a spellcaster who enjoys dealing damage to enemies while keeping a safe distance, this guide is tailor-made for you. We’ll comprehensively cover all aspects related to using magic in the game.
How Does Magic Work
Spells Types
The first that you should know is that Lords of the Fallen include three distinct types of magic:Radiant,Inferno, andUmbral.
Think of Radiant as akin toFaith in the Souls games, Inferno assimilar to Pyromancies, and Umbral as something unique to this game.
To cast each of these types of magic, you’ll need specific stats. Radiant magicnecessitates Radiance statsand encompasses various spells, ranging fromdamaging enemiesto providinghealing and buffing your character. Inferno, as the name implies,requires the Inferno statandleans more toward offense, although it does havea few spells for character enhancement.
Umbral magic, on the other hand,demands both Radiance and Inferno stats. This means you’ll have to invest in both stats, which can be quite demanding.
Now that you’re familiar with the spell types in the game,you’ll need a catalyst that’s suited for casting a specific type of spell.
For instance, if you wish to use Radiant spells,you’ll need a Radiant Catalyst; for Umbral, you’ll require anUmbral Catalyst, and for Inferno, an InfernoCatalyst.
Each Catalyst hasa certain number of spells that you can equip to it, so be mindful of that.
How To Cast Spells
Once you have your Catalyst,you need to equip it in the third slotwhere weapons are typically placed. Afterwards,you’re able to equip spells according to the Catalyst in the row below it. Each slot is designatedwith a buttonindicating which one to use for each spell you have equipped.

If you ever forget the buttons assigned to your spells, you can find these buttonsdisplayed in the lower-right corner of your screenfor quick reference.
