Characteristics[]
The Blue Flame is unique in its ability to be able to cast Sorceries (but not Hexes), essentially being a fusion between a Straight Sword and a Staff, much like the Mace of the Insolent, which is a combination of a Hammer and a Chime.
As a Straight Sword it is a reliable weapon, despite lacking any strong attacks, which are replaced with casting magic; and its capabilities as a catalyst for sorceries are very moderate as well, but the fact that it is a fusion of both means it can be attractive towards players who prefer a more versatile approach to combat, being able to deal consistent damage across all platforms of range, without switching between weapons. Attacking enemies from a distance to chip away at their health while also luring them towards the player to engage in close quarters is a reliable strategy.
One advantage it does have over staves, is the fact that its casting height is much lower than other staves, this means that while in tight or irregular spaces, like corridors, most staves may hit the environment instead of the enemy when casting a spell, the Blue Flame, however, will not.
The Blue Flame is upgradeable through Twinkling Titanite, but because its rather low scaling will never be increased through upgrading, it is suggested to infuse it with Magic. This will increase the damage of its magic damage, as well as its scaling with Intelligence. There is little reason to keep this weapon uninfused, if the player intends to use it. Do note that infusion with Bleed or Poison barely decreases the sword's base stats while ironically providing better scaling for Magic. However, if one wishes to maximize the spell power of this weapon, they are still better off infusing it with Magic.
While the spell buff on this weapon is respectable enough, it has the unique advantage of being temporarily increased further through magic weapon buffs such as Crystal Magic Weapon. A fully upgraded Magic Blue Flame with Crystal Magic Weapon applied has the strongest spell buff after Staff of Wisdom. As such, if a player wishes to run Magic Blue Flame with Crystal Magic weapon as their main catalyst, it is recommended that they buff their magic duration as much as possible (Lingering Dragoncrest Ring and Northwarder Set) since Crystal Magic Weapon has limited uses.
