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.

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.
