The Ash of War: Spinning Weapon is an Ash of War in Elden Ring that grants the Magic affinity and the Spinning Weapon skill.
Spinning Weapon is a defensive skill of the Carian princesses: the wielder lifts the armament into the air in front of them with magic, where it spins violently and strikes anything it touches seven times in a row. The skill cannot be parried and works with multi-hit boosters, so each spin can trigger effects several times. It is one of the few Ashes of War that can go on glintstone staves. It suits Intelligence builds that want a close-range defensive option on light weapons or staves.
Stats
It grants the Magic affinity and a Whetblade can switch it to Standard, Keen, Heavy, Quality or Cold. The skill costs 12 FP. It fits Dagger, Throwing Blade, Straight Sword, Light Greatsword, Curved Sword, Backhand Blade, Katana, Great Katana, Twinblade, Axe, Hammer, Flail, Spear, Halberd, Reaper, Thrusting Shield and Glintstone Staff.

Skill
The spinning weapon covers only the space directly in front of the wielder, so it works best when enemies rush in or are pinned against a wall. On its own it deals modest damage, so it gains the most from a Cold affinity or a weapon with innate bleed, where the seven hits stack status quickly. The wielder moves slowly during the spin, so it should not be used against enemies attacking from the sides.
Good With

Notes
- On glintstone staves the Ash of War can only be used with the Standard affinity.
- The unique version on the Carian Regal Scepter is far stronger than the Ash of War version.
