Skull Ball

Skull Ball is a Bullet Soul in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow and Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. It allows the player to toss a skull upward in an arc which can then be kicked around. It is a signature move of Yorick (appropriately called "Soccer Boy" in Japan) and Soma Cruz can earn this ability by gaining dominance of his soul in both games.
==Game specific information==
===Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow===
In Dawn of Sorrow, Soma tosses a skull in an arcing pattern, which does slight damage on enemies upon contact. However, if he is able to slide or Jump Kick and kick the skull while it's not on the ground, it will be projected with great force, dealing heavy damage to any enemy who stands in its path. As it only consumes 20 MP per use, it's useful for defeating enemies with high resilience (like a Final Guard) with just a few casts.
===Castlevania: Harmony of Despair===
In Harmony of Despair, it can also be used to jump off of (much like a partner could be), allowing Soma to reach extra heights without the need of a partner (and particularly skilled players could use it to get just about anywhere). Furthermore, the size of the skull has increased greatly while still be relatively small, making it easier to hit.
