In Elden Ring, what is the name of the sorcery that creates a greatsword of magical moonlight?

The story behind the answer

In Elden Ring, the sorcery that creates a greatsword of magical moonlight is Adula’s Moonblade.

The spell is associated with Glintstone dragon Adula, a powerful dragon encountered in the Cathedral of Manus Celes area. When cast, it forms a large magical blade and sweeps it horizontally, damaging enemies in front of the caster. The attack also releases a frost-inflicting wave, making the spell useful against groups and vulnerable targets.

Adula’s Moonblade is a sorcery rather than a weapon. This distinction matters because Elden Ring also includes the Dark Moon Greatsword, a physical sword with its own moon-themed magic. The two names are related by Carian imagery but refer to different gameplay objects. Adula’s Moonblade is obtained after defeating Glintstone Dragon Adula, while the Dark Moon Greatsword is connected to Ranni’s questline.
