The Ash of War: Carian Grandeur is an Ash of War in Elden Ring that grants the Magic affinity and the Carian Grandeur skill. It is picked up mid-game, in Liurnia of the Lakes.
Carian Grandeur raises the blade high and transforms it into a towering magical greatsword that crashes down on the foe. The skill can be charged by up to two levels, each one making the blade larger, longer and stronger. Its magic damage scales with Intelligence and the weapon's upgrade level, not the weapon's own attack power, and the swing carries heavy hyper armor. It suits Intelligence builds that want a huge single hit with excellent stance damage.
Stats
It grants the Magic affinity and a Whetblade can switch it to Standard, Heavy, Keen, Quality or Cold. The skill costs 26 FP and can be charged. It fits Dagger, Throwing Blade, Straight Sword, Light Greatsword, Greatsword, Thrusting Sword, Heavy Thrusting Sword, Curved Sword, Curved Greatsword, Katana, Great Katana and Twinblade.

Skill
The partial charge is the sweet spot for most fights, since it comes out faster than the full charge while still hitting hard. Fully charged swings are best saved for staggered bosses or enemies stuck in long recoveries. It charges faster than Carian Greatsword, which makes it the stronger and easier of the two.
