Crystal Skull

The Crystal Skull is a relic in Lament of Innocence and an Innocent Devil ability in Curse of Darkness. In both games, it allows the player to become invisible.
It can be found as a drop from the Phantom in Lament of Innocence and can be learned by the Tiara Fairy-Type in Curse of Darkness, costing 20 Hearts.
__TOC__
==Origins==
Crystal skulls are human skull hardstone carvings made of clear or milky white quartz, claimed to be pre-Columbian Mesoamerican artifacts by their alleged finders, although these have been refuted for all of the specimens made available for scientific studies, which demonstrated that they were manufactured in the mid-19th century or later, almost certainly in Europe, during a time when interest in ancient culture abounded. Legends of crystal skulls with mystical powers do not figure in genuine Mesoamerican or other Native American mythologies and spiritual accounts; nonetheless, they are often claimed to exhibit paranormal phenomena.

==Trivia==
*In Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, in the cutscene that plays after Leon Belmont defeats Joachim Armster, a translucent shade can be seen retiring from the scene, implied to be Mathias Cronqvist. Since Mathias was still a human by that point in the story, it is possible he was making use of a Crystal Skull (or some magical artifact or spell that provided a similar effect) to conceal himself and this way be able to spy them without being detected.
*The Bloody Skull appearing in Joachim Mode in the same game, uses the same model as the Crystal Skull but simply recolored red.
