The Incantations are a set of four Tactical equipment featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies in the map Citadelle des Morts. They are themed around the elements that the Bastard Swords use and require participating in rituals to obtain.
All Incantations are classed as Legendary tier Tacticals. They also have a maximum amount of two charges and more charges can be found on various pillars that spawn post opening the respective chests. These chests also recharge their respective scrolls after enough time has passed.
