Drangleic castle was a great level, some devious bottlenecks but not too hard and fun bosses. The first dual boss took 2 attempts, the end boss huge knight I managed on the first try with a lot of careful dodging and waiting my time to hit him with great lightning spears. It still took all my great lightning spears and a bunch of normal ones, plus a bunch of estus flasks. Fights that go on a while are the best.
I did some co-op there too, got a preview of the Throne of want.
I experimented with some more spells. Scraps of life is basically the hex form of Firestorm which I found as well now. Dark storm is the hex form of Soul vortex, looks impressive but with both spells prepare to take some damage while casting them near enemies. You can cast dark storm already while scraps of life is still going for a nice double aoe damage mess around you. I still prefer keeping my distance.
Affinity is the hex form of homing soul mass. I only get 3 orbs around my head so far, not really worth it. It takes up 3 spell slots, casts rather slow, moves even slower (although they actually follow targets unlinke homing soul mass) and doesn't do all that much damage yet. On the same enemy 606 with all 3 hits vs 358 for the standard orb which I can cast about 3 times in the time it takes to cast and get affinity to hit. Plus that has 26 uses per spell slot instead of 4. With more orbs it might become more useful. Unfortunately you cannot stack it with homing soul mass, no double amount of homing missiles above your head.
