How to Make the Best Use of the Carian Sorcery Sword

The sword can be used as a staff that casts spells as well as a thrusting sword. This makes it ideal for Dexterity users, as the sword has a range of quick moves that make it feel light and versatile. To use this weapon without any problems, ensure your character has 10 Strength, 16 Intelligence, and 19 Dexterity points.
As for the armor set, use the Carian Knight’s Shield along with the Beast Champion Set. Not only will you look menacing in this, but the overall armor will protect you against most kinds of damage types.
Finally, equipping the Radagon Icon talisman will help you speed up the rate at which your character can cast spells. Once you have all of these equipped, it’s just a matter of finding a synergy that lets you balance your physical (melee) and magic attacks.
Earlier in the game, there are a lot of different places you can try these movesets around. An area like Gravesight Plain can be the best place to try new spells and attacks. Enemies here aren’t the biggest threat as you and Torrent can quickly move away if things get tricky.
