I have no idea why people would give this a thumb down. Sometimes game bugged out and refuses to give you spell when you're hollowed, sometimes it doesn't.

It also continues to work beyond New game cycles no matter when or how it was obtained.

I also love the variety it opens up. With my caster I'd always have to stock up on the basic spells so I had enough casts to get through the area. Now I can have more fun with the bigger stuff and just try out random situational spells without having to worry about running out as much. It's a lot more interesting when I can use a variety of spells. It also makes pyromancy more viable considering its low amount of casts normally. It takes away from the way I had to ration before and think about when to use what, but it's refreshing to be able to use whatever and have fun with it.

Sadly, it's a very end game item, and starting a new play through resets the enchantment on it, So it's only usable in the end game. There's no way to use it from the beginning, so it can't be used for something like that.

The spell regen capabilities of the crown continue to work beyond New game plus cycles. The only part that does not carry over is Vendrick's Blessing which prevents hollowing/curse build-up. The spell regen is still usable in the next cycle.

Confirmed: I did just that less than a month ago. 3 great lightning spear, 1 sunlight spear, 2 heavenly thunder, 1 force, and a heal i think. north rirutalband+0 south+2, blue clearstone +2 and agape ring, lion mage gear and crown, Lightning Dragon Chime +5 , and the mace from cleric starter with a boldstone an max upgraded +10 i think. on NG+ even..--- It not only makes the righthand invis ring doable for casters, it also makes faith pure caster possible at all;;rounded up spell uses means sunlight spear, that i only get 4 from, now get 1 more cast every 2 min. +3 great lightning spear every 2 min as well. basically the lower the amount of casts for the spell the more beneficial it is to get +10% rounded up. spells like Forbidden Sun is one of the best to use this with. along with Sunlight spear, Soul Geyser and so on.this crown is insane. i dont understand why more dont use it.

Why aren't more people using it? Because it looks like*****

Another option is to use co-op. Completing a co-op objective - *including the timing out effect on a small summon sign* - will restore everything except broken equipment.
