Dark Metamorphosis

Dark Metamorphosis is a healing spell in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, usable by Alucard from the start of the game. After activating this spell, Alucard will have a red glowing outline around himself and any blood that splashes on him will heal 8 HP worth of damage. Blood is only spilled from certain enemies and only by weapons with the Cut attribute.
The amount of HP restored by Dark Metamorphosis can be doubled by equipping the Bloodstone. It is duplicated by the Gurthang when it strikes an enemy and is always on for no MP cost if the Muramasa is equipped.
In Symphony of the Night, the duration of the Dark Metamorphosis effect is determined by Alucard's INT stat. At 0 INT, it will last approximately 17 seconds. At maximum possible INT (which legitimately is 99 + 99, possible with the aid of Smart Potions), it will last around 50 seconds. However, in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, it lasts for 30 seconds regardless of Alucard's INT.
Dracula himself is also capable of performing the spell. As with Alucard, it boosts Dracula's blood draining ability. He can also bite an enemy or grasp them and drain their life. He rarely does the latter, though.
