Sharp infusion
Sharp infusion gives a weapon Dexterity scaling while lowering base damage, as described for the Sharp Gem.
How it works
The supplied upgrade passage lists Sharp Gem as increasing Dexterity scaling and reducing base damage. Farron Coal enables Sharp infusion. The stated process requires the appropriate Coal to be given to Blacksmith Andre, the chosen Gem, and Souls; the source notes that not every weapon or shield can be infused. It does not provide item-specific scaling grades or damage comparisons.

It records documented effects and restrictions, not comparative effectiveness. Guidance explains the referenced mechanics; it is not a tested damage ranking.
