its caster, and like all dangerous spells,
Power Within was kept secret for eons.

  • Catalysts that halve your spellcasts (Tin Crystallization/Manus) will cause you to have 0 casts of Power Within if you only have one copy of the spell equipped.
  • Increases all damage by 40% and stamina regeneration by 30 points, but constantly drains HP at the rate of 1% of max HP per second, rounded down. For example, a player with 573 health will take 5 damage per second while Power Within is active.
  • Damage taken per second does not increase when upgrading the Pyromancy Flame
  • Damage increase doesn't seem to affect damage from Dragon Head Stone's flame
  • When used with the Ring of Favor and Protection, Tiny Being's Ring, Mask of the Mother and/or being Cursed, the damage received per second will be based upon the modified max HP (i.e., base max HP plus/minus the bonus(es)/penalty from the ring(s)/mask/status). For example, at 50 VIT with 1500 HP, equipping the Ring of Favor and Protection will increase max HP to 1800. This means the loss of 18 HP (1%) per second until the duration ends or the character dies.
  • Power Within can be used to increase damage output to trigger the Overkill mechanic for a 20% increase in souls obtained from enemies
  • Counts as personal buff. Cannot stack with these items/spells: Fall Control

The Magic Adjustment Modifier stat dictates how much damage the spell does. The Damage stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:

  • W is Physical Damage
  • X is Magical Damage
  • Y is Fire Damage
  • Z is Lightning Damage

Certain enemies are weak or strong against different damage types.

Uses: The number of times a spell can be used before having to refill it by sitting at a bonfire. Having found and attuned multiple of the same spell will multiply the number of times it can be used. Some spells will reduce the counter my more than 1 with each cast.
Duration: The duration casted buffs, lingering or the player following attacks last. Can be extended with the Lingering Dragoncrest Ring.
Slot Cost: The number of attunement slots necessary to attune one instance of a spell.
Stats Needed: The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to cast a spell. One also needs to be able to wield the catalyst used. Pyromancies do not require any stats, Sorceries require a minimum Intelligence, Miracles require a minimum Faith.
