(1 of 5) Minor Erdtree: This spell will continuously heal allies around the small tree.

That’s all the Incantations new to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Some are found by defeating bosses and trading their Remembrances to Enia in Roundtable. Others will be obtained by completing NPC quest lines or speaking to NPCs at specific parts of the game (Watchful Spirit), and the rest will be hidden in obscure locations, requiring you to balance across thin beams or branches like you would if you were part of the circus.
