Magic-based Ashes of War in Elden Ring are some of the most valuable abilities available to players.
These Ashes of War provide a massive amount of intelligence scaling for the weapons at the cost of meager amounts of FP. Several players use hybrid builds with weapons such as the uchigatana. The magic-based Ashes of War plays a fundamental role in those builds.
However, it is also important to remember that these magic-based Ashes of War reduce strength and dexterity scaling to compensate for the increase in intelligence, which can often offset the damage dealt by certain weapons.
The best Magic Ashes of War that players should chase in Elden Ring

1.Ash of War: Gravitas
If players are looking for an Ash of War that can perform crowd control very well, then Gravitas is an extremely viable option for them. It is also quite good against flying enemies such as bats, which often become a nuisance in the game.
Location: Obtained from a Slender Wayfarer (a rare humanoid creature found near caves) that uses skill in battle.
2.Ash of War: Glintblade Phalanx
This is an extremely powerful Ash of War that is definitely one of the best against bosses. Not only can it deal a lot of damage to bosses, it can also stagger them as well, which plays an important role in winning challenging fights.
This one is especially popular amongst Elden Ring players on account of a similarity with Vergil's power from Devil May Cry.
Location: Rogier's Rapier
3. Ash of War: Carian Grandeur
Carian Grandeur is a very powerful Ash of War that creates an extended greatsword that deals a lot of damage. It is extremely powerful against bosses and NPC invaders.
The only issue with this Ash of War is that it is not that good against enemies that are extremely mobile.
Location: Caria Manor

4. Ash of War: Carian Retaliation
This is an Ash of War that is made for shields. However, it is also dependent on successfully parrying magic spells.
Once players do that, it creates swords similar to Glintblade Phalanx and attacks any enemy nearby. This particular Ash of War is extremely good against bosses who use sorceries and can practically trivialize mage-type enemies.
Apart from that, this spell does not consume FP if players miss the parry, making the skill quite forgiving.
Location: Sold in Caria Manor by Pidia
5. Ash of War: Spinning weapon
This is a very unique Ash of War as it has a lot of synergy with certain weapons. When used, players will toss their weapon and spin it violently. While that might sound a bit niche, when used with the Bloodflame incantation, it stacks bleed effect almost instantly.
Location: Can be bought from Sorcerer Rogier
