The Shard Spiral is a Glintstone sorcery in Elden Ring. It is found in the Academy of Raya Lucaria, around the middle of a run.
Shard Spiral is a sorcery of the Karolos Conspectus, the most venerable of the academy, and the product of a failed attempt to create a new comet. It fires twin projectiles that spiral as they travel and keep flying through targets instead of bursting on contact, so they can hit large enemies many times over. Against dragons and other big foes it applies a constant stream of damage to both health and stance, but its slow travel and modest damage make it weaker against small enemies. In PvP its slow-moving shots pressure opponents at mid range and pair well with other projectiles. It suits sorcerers who regularly fight large bosses and dragons.
Effect
Fires twin projectiles that spiral as they travel and keep going through targets, hitting large enemies many times; it can be cast repeatedly and while moving, and charging increases damage. Each cast costs 14 FP and 28 stamina and takes up one memory slot.
