Magic Adjustment (Mag Adj) is a special stat in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered. Unique to spell casting weapons, it determines the amount of damage spells will do. Its potency scales with the relevant character Stat (Intelligence, Int; or Faith, Fth). The higher the Mag Adj, the stronger the spell's effect (note: some spells, such as Chameleon, are not affected by this stat). Be aware that the Mag Adj on different catalysts will scale differently. Specifically, they have different: base Mag Adj, max Mag Adj, and scaling. As some catalysts are meant to be used at lower levels (Oolacile, for example), they will reach their optimal scaling level sooner than those meant to be higher level catalysts (Logan's).

Weapon Attack Rating Calculator. Dark Damage seems to be ineffective against enemies corrupted by Abyss, giants, undead and most enemies using dark magic. The only dark damage weapon available before Vordt of the Boreal Valley boss fight is the Deep Battle Axe. Top 3 armor sets for Dark resistance are Havel's set (30.7), Karla's set (30.2), and Winged Knight set (33.7).

For more tips on using the appropriate Catalyst, and in-depth information on all the Mag Adj stats of all Catalysts, at Int levels 10-59 and 99 (for all intents and purposes, as you'll see, consider this ALL Int levels), read on.
Uses of this page:

Weapons Dark Souls 3

• Knowing which catalyst will be best suited for your current level.
• Planning which Int level to stop at for an Int build, and which catalyst to use at that level.
• Knowing exactly when it would be more beneficial to invest in Int or in weapon scaling stats, for a Hybrid build based on using the Crystal Magic Weapon spell. (For more info on the spell: CMW)

Quick Notes

• The Oolacile catalyst reaches its cap at a whopping 12 Int! It is by far the strongest catalyst at that level, with 180 Mag Adj. To get higher than that with any catalyst, takes 27 Int.
• The Sorcerer's, Beatrice's and Izalith Catalysts all have the same Mag Adj at all levels.
• The Tin Banishment Catalyst and Demon's Catalyst are always beat by at least one other catalyst at every Int level. Therefore if you plan on using the catalyst with the best Mag Adj for you Int level, these two are never to be considered.
• Other than Oolacile's, which caps out at Int 12, catalysts do not have a hard level cap. They will get increasingly diminishing returns until their max Mag Adj at Int 99. So know when to stop! Spending 10 SLs to get 1 more Mag Adj is definitely not worth it.
• The Darkmoon Catalyst, as it scales with Faith, will remain at its base stat of 19 Mag Adj for all Int levels if you do not raise your Fth. Since this page concerns Int Mag Adj, consider this catalyst as not tested.
• Velka's Talisman's Mag Adj scales with Int, therefore it is included on this page. Be aware that, in order to use miracles with this talisman, you will still need the base required Faith stat. So to decide whether this talisman is useful to you, compare its Mag Adj with those of other talismans (see: Talisman Mag Adjusts).

Final Note
For all intents and purposes, when choosing the appropriate Catalyst for your Int, there are really only 4 to consider (out of 9 catalysts). They are: Oolacile Ivory, Sorcerer's/ Beatrice's/ Izalith, Logan's, Tin Crystallization (TCC).
Quick Recommendations

• Int 12-26: Oolacile Ivory Catalyst
• Int 27-40: Sorcerer's/ Beatrice's/ Izalith
• Int 41+: Logan's
• Int 32+ TCC
  • TCC is the strongest for all levels above 32. If you are comfortable with halving your number of castings, go with this one. Otherwise, go with either Sorcerer's (and equivalents) or Logan's, depending whether you are above or below 41 Int.
• Int 23-31*: Manus Catalyst
  • Manus Catalyst is the strongest for levels 23-31, and when casting abyss sorceries may be stronger than the TCC at higher Int values if you also have high strength. As with the TCC, go with this one at lower Int values if you're comfortable with halving your castings, otherwise Oolacile/Sorcerer's depending on if you're above or below 27 Int.

Recommended Plateaus

• Int 12-26: If you plan on keeping your Int below 27 and using the Oolacile catalyst, stop at whichever level you need to cast the spell you want. No need to go above the base for the spell since Oolacile is already capped out.
• Int 30 (32): If you plan on min-maxing using the Manus Catalyst and dark sorceries. Intelligence scaling drops off significantly after 30, so you can put remaining levels into Str to max power of dark sorceries.
  • If you plan to use Pursuers, you will need 32 Int to cast the spell.
• Int 32: if you plan on min-maxing using the TCC. As with the Oolacile, if the spell you wish to use requires more than 32 Int, then go for the base stat.
• Int 45: if you plan on min-maxing using Logan's. At 41 Int Logan's Mag Adj is at 215; with only 4 more SLs, it reaches 234. Gains after 45 diminish extremely quickly (at 59 Int, Logan's goes up to 238 Mag Adj from 234 at 45).
• Int 50: absolute max recommendable, and only for the TCC. At this Int, it has 293 Mag Adj. At 59 Int the TCC has 297 Mag Adj; a 4 point gain for 9 levels. (If you go to 50 Int and would like to use Velka's Talisman, you will get 199 Mag Adj for your Miracles. Compare that with the Mag Adj of other talismans at the base stat required to use the miracle you desire to decide which is best. Do not go above 50 Int for Velka's Talisman either.)

Uploading a disk image may in some cases be quite troublesome, e.g. uploading to .Mac simply because you can't resume the upload if it fails. A way around would be to upload in segments.

There are number of tools that can split your image (DMG, CDR, etc.) into pieces. Some of them work, some don't but the most bulletproof way is to do it in the Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal).

There's a tool on a Mac that does pretty much everything concerning the disks. It's called hdiutil. It can attach, detach (eject), verify, mount, unmount and segment a volume to name a few. To use this tool you have just got to type in a command. For a start you may want to get a view on hdiutil's features by typing hdiutil help. Hit Enter to execute a command.

To segment an image, let's say DMG you could use a command:

hdiutil segment -o mydvd -segmentSize 100M /Users/[your Mac username]/Desktop/dvdimage.dmg

Dark Souls 3 Walkthrough

That command would create segments (mydvd.002.dmgpart, mydvd.003.dmgpart, etc.) in your Home folder of an image named dvdimage.dmg on your desktop.

Weapons Dark Souls 2

'-o mydvd' stands for the prefix that is used to name the segments. Segment size would be 100MB as defined by the segmentSize parameter. If you'd want the segment size to be 500KB you could just use 500k instead of 100M. Alternatively you could also split your image by the number of segments. In that case you should replace '-segmentSize 100M' with '-segmentCount 5' for example. That would split your image into 5 segments.

A good thing about it is that you don't even have to rejoin these segments later. You can just click the first segment (in above example it would be mydvd.dmg) so Mac will verify the image and attach the DMG as it usually does. Or use Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility) to burn it by using the first segment as well.
