	<br>The ~~humble NPC Thops~~, ~~a self-described "Bluntstone" sorcerer players can encounter near Liurnia~~ of the ~~Lakes~~, ~~may actually~~ be ~~the Glintstone Sorcerer closest~~ in ~~spirit to~~ the ~~non-militant astrologers or yore~~. ~~He can sell players~~ the ~~Starlight spell, which conjures up a long-lasting ball of blue light,~~ and ~~at the end~~ of ~~his questline creates the Thop~~'s ~~Barrier spell~~, ~~a temporary shield~~ capable of ~~deflecting attacks from [https://blindsurprise.com/ Elden Ring News] Ring 's final b~~<br><br> <br>~~Halfway down~~ the ~~hall~~, ~~pick up~~ the ~~Grave Glovewort [3] .

For instance,~~ the ~~school of Gravity~~ Magic, ~~strongly associated with the Starscourge Radahn boss fight~~, ~~has several spells~~ and ~~Ashes of War that can repel and pull in enemies. Future non~~-~~damaging Gravity Sorceries could let a player temporarily lower~~ the ~~weight of their equipment (similar to how Elden Ring~~ '~~s giant~~, ~~misunderstood General Radahn uses gravity magic to ride his normal-sized horse, Leonard) or even raise~~ the ~~weight of~~ an ~~enemy's equipment to slow their movement and cause them to "fat roll." Finally, the extremely sparse school~~ of ~~Aberrant Sorcery, featuring only two spells themed around conjuring vines of coagulated blood, could be expanded~~ in Elden Ring DLC to include spells designed to ~~defend or support player characters - for instance, an Aberrant Sorcery~~ that ~~sacrifices health to produce a damage~~-~~reducing aura or eliminate every status effect~~ but ~~Hemorrh~~<br><br> <br>~~Finally, this mist being dead souls is the theory that makes~~ the most ~~sense for what happens~~ in the ~~Age~~ of ~~the Duskborn cutscene. Some have speculated that the mist is essentially what is conjured in Fia’s spell "Fia’s Mist~~,~~" which casts~~ a ~~mist filled with Death Blight. While this seems like a logical connection to~~ the ~~Age~~ of the ~~Duskborn ending, it doesn’t fit with what happens. If Fia’s Mist were to envelop~~ the ~~Lands Between, it would kill all Tarnished including~~ the ~~player~~. ~~But since~~ the ~~Tarnished lives~~, ~~it is made clear that~~ the ~~mist is not Fia’s Mist in Elden Ring . Instead~~, ~~it must be~~ the ~~dead souls~~ once ~~contained in~~ the ~~Erdtree~~, ~~because this better reflects~~ the ~~principle of death being integrated back into Or~~<br><br> <br>~~Rykard~~'s ~~obsession finally paid off as~~ the ~~whispers he had begun~~ to ~~hear grew louder in his head~~, ~~their words comforting~~ and ~~alluring, promising great fortunes for him.
