Ranni's Dark Moon is a Carian sorcery in Elden Ring. It becomes available in the middle of a run.
Ranni's Dark Moon is a legendary sorcery associated with the Carian queen, the cold, dark moon a young Ranni encountered while led by the hand of her mother, Rennala. The caster floats and incarnates a dark moon that drifts toward foes, dispelling any spell in its path and exploding on contact with heavy frostbite buildup. Any enemy hit takes more magic damage for a full minute, and if frostbite procs the two debuffs stack, making it an excellent opener before a burst of other sorceries. It cannot be charged or cast on horseback, and the Carian Regal Scepter and Snow Witch Hat both boost its damage. It suits Carian and frost sorcerers who want to soften up bosses for their main damage spells.
Stats
Ranni's Dark Moon is the colder twin of the full moon, a legendary sorcery that dispels sorcery on contact, lowers magic damage negation and adds heavy frostbite build-up to the blow. When it also triggers frostbite, the two debuffs together raise magic damage taken by 32%, which sets up every magic attack that follows.
Effect
Incarnates a cold dark moon and sends it floating toward foes; it dispels any sorcery it touches, builds up 270 frostbite and lowers the target's magic damage negation by 10%. Each cast costs 57 FP and 32 stamina and takes up two memory slots.

Notes
- If it also triggers frostbite, the two debuffs together raise magic damage taken by 32%.
- Works best as a setup for other magic attacks rather than as a repeated cast.
- Floating during the cast can carry the caster over ground attacks.
