Fulgur

Fulgur or Fulgoris (both Latin for "Lightning"), also called Tonitrus (Latin for "Thunder", used in the Japanese versions) is the Thunder Elemental Glyph and represents the power of the Thunder element. Several variations of this glyph exist, including the base Fulgur (casts the Lightning Bolt or the Tonitrus spell depending on the game), Vol Fulgur ("Lightning Will"), and the Lance Glyphs Hasta Fulgoris ("Lightning Lance"), Tonitrus Serpens ("Thunder Serpent"), and Deus Tonitrus ("God of Thunder"). 
==Game specific information==
===Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia===
Shanoa can equip two kinds of Fulgur Thunder Glyphs as a Main or Sub Glyph in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia:
*Vol Fulgur - A lightning bolt that arcs upward and then strikes down on top of the nearest enemy.
*Fulgur - A lightning orb called Dawn Lightning.
Fulgur Glyphs can be paired with another type of glyph to perform the following Glyph Unions:
* Another Fulgur Thunder Glyph (Union Fulgur) - A bolt of lightning crashes down on Shanoa's position and a large ball of lightning is formed above her head. It remains in place for a few seconds and releases bolts of electricity at any enemy on the screen.
* A Weapon Glyph (Iuppiter) - A giant lightning spear is thrust forward, hitting five times. 
In Hard Mode, Albus can use the normal Fulgur glyph during his boss fight, along with Grando and Ignis.
===Castlevania: Harmony of Despair===
The glyph known as Vol Fulgur in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia is called Fulgur in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair and attacks in a similar manner.
===Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls===
Shanoa has several variations of the Fulgur/Tonitrus glyph in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. 
Hasta Fulgoris is her "Lightning Lance" glyph. It has the Piercing Lightning I attack, which is the Thunder variation of the Piercing Spear skill. This is reminiscent of her Iuppiter Lightning Lance Fulgur/Weapon Glyph Union in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Tonitrus Serpens represents the thunder that comes after the lightning and includes Piercing Lightning II skill, which is an extended version of the same spell.
Deus Tonitrus is another Lightning Lance. Attached to it is the Tonitrus skill, which emits lightning from its tip that is the exact same as that from her Vol Fulgur glyph had in Order of Ecclesia.

==Trivia==
*The names of both glyphs, Fulgur and Vol Fulgur, were erroneously interchanged in the final release of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. "Vol" denotes a glyph of medium power, and Vol Fulgur, which is the weakest of both glyphs, can be found early in the game, in Minera Prison Island. Fulgur, which is a medium powered electricity glyph, is acquired much later, in Tristis Pass.
**In Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, the names were corrected and Fulgur now acts like the Vol Fulgur version from Order of Ecclesia.
*Fulgur is Latin for "lightning".

*Agunea - A sub-weapon that fires electric bolts almost identically to the basic form of Fulgur, although in a continuous manner.
