Acquisition
Collect the incantation at Corpse-Stench Shack in Mt. Gelmir. It needs 25 Faith. The Golden Vow Ash of War is a different version with different values; owning that Ash does not let you cast this spell.
A simple pre-fight routine
Cast before the fog when safe, then use your shorter body buff if the build includes one. Golden Vow can coexist with Flame, Grant Me Strength because they occupy different categories. Recasting the same aura does not stack another copy.
Upgrading a seal does not raise this fixed buff’s strength. Do not interrupt a boss fight to refresh it without an opening. Dragonblood Duelist at 15 Faith cannot cast this version.
