Legendary sorcery associated with the Carian queen. Uses the caster as a vessel to incarnate a cold, dark moon, then sends it floating toward foes. The dark moon dispels all sorcery that touches it, and temporarily reduces magic damage negation for those it strikes. This moon was encountered by a young Ranni, led by the hand of her mother, Rennala. What she beheld was cold, dark, and veiled in occult mystery.

Where to Find the Ranni’s Dark Moon Sorcery

Found in Chelona’s Rise on the Moonlight Altar plateau — you’ll need to complete the tower’s puzzle to access the sorcery.

One of the large spirit turtles you need to find is west of the tower, hanging on the edge of the cliff. Use a throwing knife or a spell to hit it.

Another is only accessible by jumping on the Spiritspring Jump just down the road from the evergaol. Stand in the center of the Spiritspring jump and don’t move the left stick — jumping straight up will let you pass through the turtle, which counts as hitting it.

The final turtle is hiding on the edge of the plateau to the southeast — you’ll need to drop down onto a few ledges to reach it. Make sure you drop down onto the tall rock to the west or you’ll die trying to get to the low ground.
