To give these systems of spell-craft a proper place in the world of Dark Souls, developers at FromSoftware had to connect them to the game's setting in some way.
Thematically, developers at FromSoftware took a novel approach of presenting their schools of magic – Sorcery, Miracles, and Pyromancy – as gifts bestowed on humanity by divine beings in order to win their allegiance and prevent them from developing their true power.Ī brief disclaimer: two schools of magic in Dark Souls – Sorcery and Miracles – originally came from Demon's Souls, the dark fantasy game that pioneered the entire "Soulslike" sub-genre of RPGs. Many of these Demon's Souls spells – Soul Arrow, Acid Cloud, Heal, God's Wrath – appear in the Dark Souls games practically unchanged in function, but divorced from the world-building of their game of origin. Many of these spells, particularly the fireball and healing spells, are familiar staples of the fantasy RPG genre. The three games of FromSoftware's Dark Souls trilogy have always had a wide variety of magical spells which players could employ, some based off of spells from its predecessor Demon's Souls, others original forms of magic.
