I believe these should be titled "Godslayer" incantations instead of Godskin Apostle, thats the bosses name and not even the only enemy to cast these spells. Another point is the seal says it boosts godslayer

They're the same thing. The Talisman for those incantations calls them Godslayer incants, but all the incantations' descriptions say "incantation of the Godskin Apostles."

Technically the nobles are also "apostles" in the same sense as the 12 apostles of Christ. It states in the lore they are older and more veteran followers of the Gloam-eyed Queen and as such have taken the mantle of Noble but they are still 'apostles' in the very literal sense of the word.

Godslayer incantations would prevent some confusion though, and it just sounds so much more powerful.

What if I gave the book to Brother Corhyn but now he's left the round table?

He moves to a roadside in the Altus plateau as part of the questline he is associated with, he moves several times throughout the questline, look at his page on the wiki to see where he moves to if you have trouble finding him. Note that many of the books can be given to turtle pope who does not move and thus can be a more reliable teacher.

For me, magic is more optimized, cause they have many more piece of armor that boosts dmg well my opinion peace

That's fair. I prefer the general utility of Faith, but one cannot deny that optimized spells are the king of DPS.

Why does it say there are 7 incantations, but only list 6?

Trying very hard to make these work in pvp. I dont think they are viable.

Have you tried manually aiming? I use all of the black flame spells except presence and blade. They may not be bleed, but they can absolutely dunk on anyone dumb enough, granted you���re skilled enough in black flame.

What exactly are you trying to make work? I hope not the black flame effect. Spells generally have always been easy to dodge and percentage based DOT works best on really high health pools i.e. enemies in PVE

The wiki says there is 7 but only list 6 what the seventh incantation?

Probably the Ash of War on the Godslayer's Greatsword.

The Queen's Black Flame

There is one unused one that the black flame monks use that is a black flame variant of Catch Flame

Does anyone know how much damage the lingering damage of the black flames do?
I feel like this would be good information to have on this page specifically.

percentage damage, not sure what percent but it does more damage when the enemy has a higher lotsl health

2-5% of total hp according to the Black Flame page

But shouldn't Black Blade be part of this magic school?
I mean, it share a really similar concept with all of these spells, and function exactly in the same way.
With only the addition of the max hp reduction debuff.

I think is one of the Erdtree because it's connected to the rune of death, that is basically a shard of the Elden Ring. It's the same effect of the Black Knife ash of war that is directly connected to the rune of death

Black Blade does holy though and these are fire. Honestly they should have just made Black Flames do holy damage possibly since its in the theme of religion.

These need a buff, faith builds need a better %HP damaging skill similar to frost/bleed builds
By Anonymous
#16744729
These are fine as is, frost and bleed need a debuff,

Faith gets buffs and heals. The buffs are incredibly powerful and I love my regen. Godskins get a physical damage negation buff which is very powerful
By Anonymous
#16769321
No they don't need a buff. At best a speed boost because they're slow and some have poor tracking. Black Flame can do some of THE highest damage in the game and I use soft cap faith to shred any boss in any ng+ with minimal effort
