Sorceries

Cast Light

Can be purchased from Straid of Olaphis at the Straid's Cell bonfire in The Lost Bastille.

Chameleon

Found near the Mines bonfire in Harvest Valley. Continue down the path, then take the right path in the open area with the wooden tower. You'll come to a poison pool with these two dark-adept enemies. If you drop into the poison, you'll find a corpse under the bridge ahead - it holds the spell.

Fall Control

Can be purchased from Magerold of Lanafir. He's found by making a right after crossing the Iron Keep bride and enter the keep proper.

Homing Crystal Soul Mass

This is found near the Rhoy's Resting Place bonfire in the Shrine of Amana. Move through the tunnel into the next body of water, where you'll find some sorceresses and frog-likes in a columned pool. There's a corpse on a stone in the back of the area that you can loot for this spell.

Hush

If you return to the Ruin Sentinels' battle area in The Lost Bastille, you'll find numerous fake walls. Interact with the one directly under the ledge with the corpse to find a ladder. Climb it to a chest containing this sorcery.

Great Magic Barrier

When you enter Aldia's Keep proper, move up the stairs to the second floor. Make a right and follow the narrow ledge to a chest containing the spell.

Can also be purchased from Chancellor Wellager in Drangleic Castle.

Strong Magic Shield

Once you take the lift near the Central Castle Drangleic bonfire, you'll find yourself in a room with a cage and three chests, one of which contains this.

Found in Black Gulch. From the Black Gulch Mouth bonfire, follow the green path and take the first left. The chest by the poison-spitting busts contains this.

Can also be purchased from Royal Sorcerer Navlaan in Aldia's Keep.

Can also be received upon reaching Rank 1 of the Company of Champions covenant. See our Dark Souls 2 covenants guide for more information.

Crystal Magic Weapon

In the Dragon Shrine, proceed until you encounter a hammer and sword/shield knight together. Take them out, then look for a ledge with boxes. Bust them up, then drop down and follow this path to encounter a hammer-wielding knight. Take him out, then enter the door beyond. Ascend the spiral stairs to encounter a Dark Spirit. Once he's down, you can exit to the balcony outside, where a chest holds the spell.

Soul Arrow

Can be purchased from the merchant at the Cardinal Tower bonfire in Forest of Fallen Giants.

Can also be purchased from Carhillion of the Fold in No-Man's Wharf.

Can also be purchased from Magerold of Lanafir. He's found by making a right after crossing the Iron Keep bride and enter the keep proper.

Great Soul Arrow

This is found in Forest of Fallen Giants, near the Cardinal Tower bonfire. Near Pate is a room with ballistas and a few undead soldiers. Head inside, move out of the ballista's line of fire, and take out the soldiers. Loot the corpses in here--one of them holds the spell.
