The Wing of Astel is a Curved Sword in Elden Ring. It is found in the Ainsel River, around the middle of a run.

The Wing of Astel is a sword fashioned from a delicate wing suffused with the magic of the stars, crafted from a relic of the Naturalborn of the Void said to have assailed the Eternal City. It sits in a chest on a stone beam above the Uhl Palace Ruins in the Ainsel River, reached from the Nokstella, Eternal City grace. Its strong attack unleashes a wave of enchanted light for no FP, charged twice for two waves, and it deals bonus damage to gravity-type enemies. Its unique skill, Nebula, sends out an arc of exploding magic that bunches up in tight spaces for even more hits and deals heavy stance damage. It suits an Intelligence and Dexterity build, or an Intelligence caster wanting an off-hand blade.

Stats

The Wing of Astel is the real Intelligence option among curved swords, with 65 physical and 78 magic at +0 and D Intelligence scaling that climbs to B at max upgrade, at only 2.5 weight. Nebula is its skill, giving a sorcerer a fast, light blade with a magic attack built.

Skill

Nebula costs 20 FP. The wielder imbues the weapon with magic and sends out a dark cloud of stars that lingers for a moment before exploding. On the Wing of Astel the stars fan out in a wide arc in front, while the Bastard's Stars sweep them around the wielder in a spinning lunge. The magic damage scales with Intelligence, the Spellblade set boosts it, and in tight spaces the stars bunch together. No other weapon carries this skill, and it cannot be replaced.

"Imbue the Naturalborn's wings with magic to send forth a dark cloud of stars that lingers briefly before exploding."
