In-universe, the crystalline substance called Glintstone is what makes the scholarly discipline of Elden Ring 's Glintstone Sorcery possible, while the Azur's Glintstone Crown and Lusat's Glintstone Crown items , looted from mute NPCs encountered during the Sorceress Sellen quest-line, share the following passage in their item descripti
