Who can players rely on to ensure their new spells will be safe?
Elden Ring has some of the best sorceries in any FromSoftware game, and there are plenty of ways for players to get their hands on them. While many sorceries are tied to rewards for defeating bosses and following NPC questlines, there are a few that can only be obtained through scrolls. These scrolls can be given to specific merchants, allowing players to purchase new spells for use later on. But with how many quests can lead to these NPCs getting put in grave danger, players will need to decide which ones are the best choices to give scrolls to.
The Best NPC to Give Scrolls to in Elden Ring
The only notable sorcerer that can accept scrolls is Sellen. However, she has a special questline that can lead to her becoming unavailable for a period of time. She can also be killed if the player decides to target her, making it impossible for her to accept new scrolls. Thankfully, there is another merchant that can take Sellen’s place. Players should seek out Miriel, Pastor of Vows located at the Church of Vows. This location is directly east of the Raya Lucaria Academy; it can even be reached through a portal inside the academy.
Miriel takes a form unlike any other NPC. Still, you’ll be able to share any scroll you like with the pastor. Each sorcery within will be added to Miriel’s shop, and the prices won’t be any different from Sellen’s. Be warned, however, that you can kill Miriel as well. Doing so will make it impossible to share further scrolls. On a more positive note, the pastor does not have any major questlines ending in tragedy or death. Players can rest easy knowing that Miriel will keep their spells safe if they don’t have enough runes to purchase them.
Elden Ring is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

There are a good number of sorcerers to choose from in the Lands Between to learn new spells from. Each of these NPCs offers their own inventory, but can also be given scrolls to unlock even more spells. Unfortunately, most of these NPCs have a questline that involves them meeting an unfortunate end, so it is best to choose wisely before giving them scrolls. After all, you don’t want to miss out on some sorceries just because the NPC disappeared. Here is every NPC that you can give scrolls to in Elden Ring and where they are located.
Sorceress Sellen
Sellen is perhaps the first magic-using NPC that you will come across on your Journey. She resides in the Waypoint Ruins on the eastern side of the Lake Agheel in Limgrave. To unlock her, you will need to defeat the Mad Pumpkin head boss in the Waypoint Ruins. This will allow you to open the door in the back and gain access to Sorceress Sellen. Completing Sellen’s questline will still allow you to buy items from her but she will move to Raya Lurcaria Academy. You can even give her scrolls after completing her questline.
Miriel Pastor of Vows
Miriel is one of the more interesting NPCs that you might come across while making your way through Raya Lucaria Academy. While he doesn’t reside in the academy, the warping stone to reach him does. This holy turtle can be found on the eastern side of Liurnia at the Church of Vows. Despite being a holy figure, you can give both prayerbooks and scrolls to Miriel. Completing his questline will result in his death. Luckily, you can take his Bell Bearing to the merchant in Roundtable Hold to still have access to your spells.
Preceptor Seluvis
Preceptor Seluvis is one of the least important sorcerers you can find in the Lands Between. He is mainly involved in Ranni’s questline and will ultimately end up dead after you complete her quest. He has his own quest that you can take part in as well which leads to you giving a potion to one of a few NPCs. He can be found in Seluvis’ Rise in northwestern Liurnia. The worst part about Seluvis is that you can only give him the Royal House Scroll.
Thops
Thops is one of the more overlooked NPCs in the game and can be found in the Church of Irith at the start of Lurnia. His quest, like most of the other quests, leads to his death. Unfortunately, while you can get some sorceries from him, he can only be given the Academy Scroll. This means that he isn’t really worth giving scrolls to unless you only want to focus on the academy spells.
