The Magma Shot is a Magma sorcery in Elden Ring. It becomes available partway through a run, in Volcano Manor.
Magma Shot is a magma sorcery developed from the magma of Mt. Gelmir, one of the ancient hexes that Rykard, son of Queen Rennala, brought back into practical use as new sorcery. It flings a lump of magma that explodes on contact and leaves small pools of lava, with charging raising the damage of both. It deals fire damage, giving intelligence casters with a little Faith one of the few sorcery options outside magic damage. Fire also resets frostbite buildup, so it can be mixed into frost builds to proc frostbite repeatedly. Its short travel distance and firing arc mean free-aiming works better than relying on lock-on, and it suits sorcerers who want a fire option in their rotation.
Effect
Fires a lump of magma that explodes on contact and leaves small pools of lava, dealing fire damage; charging increases damage. Each cast costs 16 FP and 21 stamina and takes up one memory slot.
