Spell Slots are now called Memory Slots in Elden Ring. Memory Slots are stats that determine how many spells Tarnished can wield. Previously, in old Souls games, leveling up a certain stat would've increased the amount of Spell Slots a character can have. However, now in Elden Ring, Spell Slots can only be increased by obtaining items called Memory Stones.
Elden Ring heavily leans into its magical side, where some abilities are somewhat overpowered. So having more Memory Slots in Elden Ring helps players overcome many dangerous scenarios. So it is essential for the Tarnished to be prepared when it comes to wielding the right amount of spells during combat.
Updated on July 23, 2022, by Nahda Nabiilah: According to Elden Ring, Memory Stones are black, shiny stones that were once very precious to the sorcerers who made them. The stones are said to resemble fragments taken from the black moon that used to light the Eternal City. Memory Stones are crucial for many players, especially those who use Sorcery or Incantation as it increases their Spell Slots in Elden Ring. Because some spells require more than one slot to be equipped, it’s important to collect all available Memory Stones to be ready for any battle while exploring the Lands Between.
How To Get Memory Slots In Elden Ring
To get Memory Slots in Elden Ring, players have to find Memory Stones. Once these Stones are obtained, they will immediately increase Spell Slots for the current character (without having to do anything). Obtaining more Memory Slots allow players to perform a variety of Sorceries and Incantations. That can be helpful in tough situations where a certain spell can save the day.
To assign Sorceries and Incantations, players should rest at a Site of Lost Grace. From there, scroll down and press Memorize Spells. This page contains all the spells the Tarnished learned and can be equipped to use. Players should keep in mind that Staffs are used to cast Sorcery spells while Sacred Seals can cast Incantation spells.

Memory Stones are obtained from Chests, defeating Bosses, or bought From NPCs. As this item is important, it’s not a surprise that Memory Stones are difficult to get.

Players can access this area as soon as they reach Margit, The Fell Omen boss fight. It cost 3000 Runes, so come prepared.
While other Memory Stones in Elden Ring are harder to find or require some kind of puzzle-solving abilities. Some of these Elden Ring locations can be visited to easily get Memory Stones:
