Notes

• No ember is required to upgrade to Magic +5

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

• This is a good upgrade for Mid-game intellect builds, since it's balanced between depending on base damage and scaling. Very good upgrade for endgame PvP or NG+.
