Notes

• Does not remove other auxiliary effects that are already on the weapon, such as poison and bleed

• The Divine aux. effect makes Divine weapons have several properties:
  • Extra damage against certain enemies, namely the various skeletons in The Catacombs and Tomb of the Giants, but also the Mass of Souls enemies in New Londo Ruins and Crow Demons in the Painted World of Ariamis. It acts as a straight Damage multiplier applied after defense calculations
  • Can prevent the revival of the Skeletons in The Catacombs even without killing the Necromancer of the area, and also the skeletons while fighting Gravelord Nito

• Other than weapons in Divine upgrade paths, there are also five unique weapons that have Divine property also, and therefore have the above properties as well. These weapons are:
  • Astora's Straight Sword (120 Divine aux.)
  • Crescent Axe (120 Divine aux.)
  • Grant (130 Divine aux.)
  • Greatsword of Artorias (140 Divine aux.)
  • Silver Knight Spear (110 Divine aux.)

• A Divine weapon cannot be buffed or enchanted with Sorceries, Miracles, or resins, Divine shields can be enchanted with Magic Shield or Strong Magic Shield

• Even though Divine weapons have a lower scaling letter for Faith than Occult weapons, a Divine weapon's higher base magic damage gives them more magic damage overall than its Occult counterpart, even up to 99 Faith. The only exceptions to this are Occult bows when used with Moonlight Arrows, because the Moonlight Arrows' magic damage is added to the bow's base magic damage, which boosts its effective scaling. (scaling is dependent on base damage)
