Fireball

A Fireball is a ball made of, or imbued with fire. It has been the most frequently used form of projectile since the first titles in the Castlevania series. In most games, they are emitted from an enemy to attack the player. Fireballs appear as an enemy in their own right in Castlevania Legends. Fireballs can also be used as a spell a hero can use.
==Characteristics==
The basic fireball attack is a small ball of fire that is launched forward at moderate speed. There are several variations of the Fireball spell, though. These include:
*Magic Bullets - Small fireballs that can be thrown forwards, up, or down when jumping and can be charged to increase size and power. 
*Hellfire - Three slow fireballs that move in parallel across the distance of the screen.
*Ball of Destruction - A quick Fireball thrown forwards with limited range. Often thrown threes, with others aimed diagonally upwards and downwards.
*Triple Blaze - Three flaming homing fireballs traveling in parallel.
*Dark Inferno - A large, dark fire attack that usually comes in twos.
*Flame Shot - A large and fast fireball
*Lamp of Dawn - A large and slow spherical fireball
Hellfire and Dark Inferno can only be used while standing, while the basic Fireball and Flame Shot can also be used in the air. Fireballs may also be used while in the form of a bat.
Soma Cruz is able to obtain this attack from a Fish Head in Aria of Sorrow. Charlotte Aulin is able to obtain it from a Bone Pillar in Harmony of Despair. Sypha uses a Blaze variant of the Fireball that propels magical seals with fire in Castlevania Judgment.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, aside from it being used by Mario and to a lesser extent Ridley as part of their movesets, the trailer Vampire Killer had Simon Belmont, after being bested in combat by Dracula, being threatened by an advancing fireball before being rescued by his descendant Richter Belmont.
