Elemental Glyph

An Elemental Glyph (informal name) is a glyph that embodies the power of one of the basic elements. These are Ignis (a Fire Glyph), Grando (an Ice Glyph), Fulgur (a Thunder Glyph), Luminatio (a Light Glyph), Umbra (a Darkness Glyph), Pneuma (a Wind Glyph), Lapiste (a Stone Glyph), Nitesco (a Magic Glyph) and their variants. Other glyphs may have these same elemental attributes, but do not represent the element itself.
==Appearances==
===Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia===
Each of the elemental glyphs that correspond with an elemental attribute (Ignis, Grando, Fulgur, Luminatio, Umbra) in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia have two versions, a normal version and a "Vol" version. Pneuma deals out Slash damage, Lapiste deals out Strike damage, Nitesco deals out both Light and Thunder damage, and each has no variants. These glyphs can be equipped as the Main or Sub Glyph.
When any Elemental Glyph performs a Glyph Union with another Elemental Glyph of the same kind, a powerful Glyph Union for its element type is produced. Pairing an elemental glyph with another elemental glyph of the "opposite" kind may also produce a unique Glyph Union. When an Elemental Glyph performs a Glyph Union with a Weapon Glyph, an Elemental Weapon Union is produced, which summons a giant weapon with the same element as the elemental glyph. 
===Castlevania: Harmony of Despair===
Most elemental Glyphs appear as Hunter Skill Glyphs in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, which act like Sub-Weapons in earlier games. Only one of these may be equipped at a time. Pneuma and Lapiste are Weapon Glyphs. Two of these glyphs can be equipped at the same time and it is possible to rapidly alternate between the two. There is nothing that distinguishes elemental glyphs from other glyphs in this game play-wise.
===Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls===
Shanoa has several Weapon Glyph variations of Elemental Glyphs at her disposal in Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. These glyphs usually have skills that are approximations of Shanoa's elemental glyphs' spells from earlier games, but usually not perfect replicas since they are elemental versions of other skills. The exceptions to this are her glyphs which have unique skills attached to them, which more closely resemble the original.
