Check Right-Hand Weapon for Affinity
Next up, you will want to check your right-hand weapon for any previous Affinity. These Affinities can be the result of past Infusions or maybe the weapon comes with an innate Affinity. The Vyke’s Dragonbolt Incantation only works on those weapons which do not have a previous infused or inborn Affinity.
Make sure to have a proper weapon equipped or else this minor oversight will render you incapable of using Vyke’s Dragonbolt in Elden Ring. Something like the Uchigatana would work, but another Katana, the Moonveil, would not. This is because the Moonveil possesses a Magic Affinity already.
Meet The Basic Requirements
The first thing you need to ensure is whether you have what it takes to use Vyke’s Dragonbolt in Elden Ring, quite literally. Every weapon and Magic comes with specific Stat requirements that need to be met for effective use of that item.
In this case, Vyke’s Dragonbolt Incantation requires 23 Faith to use. You can upgrade your Faith by investing Runes into it. The minimum requirement is 23 Faith, and each additional level increases the Lightning damage buff.

Check Your FP Pool
This should be obvious, but you need to have ample FP in order to cast Vyke’s Dragonbolt in Elden Ring. FP stands for Focus Points, which are required in order to cast Magic and even perform special skills in Elden Ring.
Vyke’s Dragonbolt costs 35 FP upon each use, so make sure you have enough FP. If you do not, simply throw back a Flask of Cerulean Tears like you would a cold one on nights out with your Tarnished friends. Alternatively, rest at a Site of Grace to refill your FP bar.
Equip A Sacred Seal in Your Off-Hand
A Sacred Seal is a catalyst in Elden Ring required to cast Incantations. Catalysts are items that must be equipped in order to cast different types of Magic in Elden Ring. For Incantations, these catalysts are Sacred Seals.
You need to equip a Sacred Seal in your left hand in order to cast Vyke’s Dragonbolt. If you do not currently own a Sacred Seal, the easiest one to obtain is the Finger Seal. It can be purchased from the Twin Maiden Husks at the Table of Lost Grace.
