Duplicator

The Duplicator is an accessory that enables its bearer to use as many of a use item as desired without losing them. It first appeared in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, where it can be purchased for an incredibly large amount of money (500,000 Gold). The item only appears on a replay of a cleared game file or on a new file created on the same Memory Card/Stick housing a previously saved clear game. Equipping the Duplicator reduces several statistics as a penalty for using it (CON, INT and LCK by 10, and DEF by 20). It is commonly used with the Mana Prism for infinite MP, the Potion or Mana Prism to abuse invincible frames, and the Buffalo Star for ultra-fast boss kills in speedruns, where the Sword Brothers jewel-duplicating glitch is used to purchase it. The Duplicator can also be combined with the Heart Refresh to produce a wall-clipping glitch enabling the use of out-of-bounds for shortcuts or sequence breaking.
The Duplicator will only duplicate items which are equipped in Alucard's hands; if they are used by a Faerie Familiar, the total will still go down.
Another game that features "infinite use items" is Castlevania: Order of Shadows. Beating Hard Mode in this game allows the player to start a new game with all items already available and with unlimited usage for all.
