The Aspects of the Crucible: Tail is an Erdtree incantation in Elden Ring. It is an early find in Stormhill.

Aspects of the Crucible: Tail is one of the ancient Erdtree incantations, a manifestation of the primordial crucible where all life was once blended together. It grows a supple tail that sweeps the area in front of the caster, and charging adds a second, larger sweep that knocks enemies down. Fully charged it deals more damage and stance damage than Aspects of the Crucible: Horns, but it casts slower and needs riskier positioning, so a common pattern is to rush in with Horns and follow with Tail while the enemy recovers. The tail passes through obstacles, which makes thin walls useful cover for ambushes, and the Godfrey Icon and Crucible armor sets boost it. Crucible Axe Knights wield it, and it suits Crucible-themed faith builds that fight up close.

Effect


Grows a tail that sweeps the area in front of the caster; charging adds a second, stronger sweep that knocks foes down. Each cast costs 20 FP and 42 stamina and takes up one memory slot.
