you’re able to purchase the Glintstone Nail and Glintstone Nails sorceries from Count Ymir for12,000 runes each.
Casting the Glintstone Nail sorcery, shoots a shattering nail at the enemy. However, the Glintstone Nails fires a set of six shattering nails at the enemy. If the sorcery misses the target, it circles back, and tries to make it to the target, which makes it excellent against enemies that tend to dodge spells.
