Dark miracle taught in the Cathedral of the Deep.
Summons insect swarm to feast on foes.
These insects which lurk in the Deep have tiny jaws lined with fangs to tear open the skin and burrow into the flesh in the blink of an eye, causing intense bleeding.
Acquired From
- Bought from: Irina of Carim or Karla for 2,000 souls when you give her the Deep Braille Divine Tome.
Notes
- Deals (spell buff x 0.9) damage.
- This Spell Inflicts Dark Damage and Bleed Buildup.
- The Dark Damage scales with the Spellbuff of the chosen Catalyst:
- Dark Miracle Catalysts (Sunless Talisman & Caitha's Chime) with high Intelligence and Faith will maximize the Dark Damage.
- Applies 130 Points of Bleed buildup.
- This bleed buildup is a fixed value, and does not scale with Luck, Faith, or Intelligence.
- Fires a single spinning "swarm" projectile, Dorhy's Gnawing fires two.
- Dorhys' Gnawing is an upgrade to this spell.
- Sped up in regulation 1.08 and again in 1.11.
- Approx 1.4 secods to cast at max casting speed.

It's a shame this spell isn't just a tad bit faster. It would give you a reason to pick it over Dorhys Gnawing in certain situations, but since they have the same speed it virtually makes this spell redundant once you get Dorhys Gnawing.

For anyone who thinks the spell sounds SUPER cool, it's the same spell the fat ladies cast in Undead Settlement. That is to say, it does not look like a whole lot.In PvP, the spell is almost entirely useless, as the spell has some wind up, the particle moves very slow, and the range is medium (it will dissipate completely at a certain range).Tested on a few monsters with shields, and the bleed build up is still significant, but not enough to spam the spell given its mana cost.Without Sage Ring (regular version) for reduced cast time, this spell has an incredibly slow cast speed. Enough so that most enemies will close the distance either just before or right after the cast goes off. This spell does not seem to stagger most enemies.
I can't wait to try out Gnaw!(It seems that DS3 is using the DS1 bleeding system)

Thinking about putting 18 faith for this spell in my mage build. Hopefully there will be a good staff or something to have it scale with Int instead since my int will be really high.

I dont even care how effective this spell is, this sounds orgasmic.
Interesting Spell but i wonder how good bleed in DS3 is. (DS1 Great | DS2 Meh)
this spell is really good against Friede's 2nd fase, jus spam this and let gael tank, at 18 att i only need 2 full bars to kill the fase
