Ashes Of Warare one of the new ideas presented inElden Ring. An Ash of War allows you to switch out the unique ability of a weapon and use a different ability to make weapons work better with your build. Some weapons have special skills, and an Ash of War can’t replace these skills, while other more basic weapons are blank slates for Ashes.
