The Dragon Cult School of Incantations in Elden Ring has always been pretty strong. It has quick-casting damage Incantations such as Lightning Spear or Lightning Strike, it has support Incantations with Electrify Armament or Dragonbolt Blessing, and it even has gigantic AoE-type Incantations with Ancient Dragons' Lightning Strike or Dragonbolt of Florissax. But now, with The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, there's another addition that's pretty universally beloved.
However, actually obtaining this Incantation in the Lands of Shadow is pretty involved in more ways than one. So, to help players round out their collection of Dragon Cult Incantations, let's take a deep look at Knight's Lightning Spear as an Incantation and where it can be found in Elden Ring.

Out of all the Incantations and Magic Schools in Elden Ring, the Dragon Cult Incantations are probably the most well-rounded school/category. Anyone who likes Dragon-related magic will be very happy with their options in this game, regardless of whether they go for Incantations or Sorceries. And, Knight's Lightning Spear is a fantastic addition to this school, as it basically functions as a better (albeit riskier) Lightning Spear. It has a longer windup and it costs more FP than the standard Lightning Spear, but in exchange, you get all these additional smaller Lightning Spears that follow after your initial thrown bolt.
In all honesty, it's pretty much a direct upgrade to the default Lightning Spear, and it even seems like the multiple spears that it throws can sometimes confuse enemy AI and cause them to just tank this Incantation to the face instead of dodging it. So, while the Scorpion River Catacombs can be pretty rough to clear, this Incantation is more than worth the effort for anyone with enough Faith.
