Agunea

A strange but powerful weapon, the Agunea (or Agnea) fires a small, nearly-invisible projectile straight ahead. Once it hits, the attack button can be held down and multiple bolts of lightning will strike the target.
==Game specific information==
===Castlevania: Symphony of the Night===
It is an effective weapon against many bosses in Symphony of the Night, particularly the Succubus. There are four Agunea to be found in the entire game, spread across both castles. One must be careful while using it, however, as it consumes 5 Hearts per bolt summoned, and bolts emit in rapid succession, which may deplete the player's heart reserves in just a few seconds.
Richter's item crash, Lightning Bolt, produces a large burst of electricity.
===Castlevania: Lament of Innocence===
Agunea can be used by combining the Cross sub-weapon with the White Orb.
===Castlevania: Curse of Darkness===
Agnea is a skill which the Mage-Type Innocent Devil, Ogre Rod uses. It consists of blasting several enemies in front of the Innocent Devil with continuous Thunder damage. This ability consumes 20 Hearts with each cast.
===Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night===
The Agunea is a spell that can be used by Alucard.

==Trivia==
*In Slavic mythology, Agunea is the youngest son of Svarog, a fire god often equated with Hephaestus. Agunea's role is to purify and protect the righteous with flames from "heaven", which in Castlevania might be interpreted as lightning.
*The continuous lightning attack Amduscias can perform in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin behaves almost identically to the Agunea sub-weapon from Symphony of the Night.
*Shanoa's Tonitrus glyph attack behaves similarly to the Agunea, although it only produces a single lightning bolt.
*Alucard's Dark Lightning attack in Castlevania Judgment is probably inspired by his Agunea sub-weapon in Symphony of the Night, although it cannot be continuously applied.
*In the Castlevania animated series Season 3 episode, "Worse Things Than Betrayal", the Agunea is shown among the Belmont's weaponry in the Belmont's Keep.
**Possibly due to the limited detail of its icon sprite in Symphony of the Night, for a long time the Agunea was either described as a "lightning ring", a "taser", or even as a derringer type pistol; with this last one actually being the correct answer, as evidenced by its detailed portrayal in the animated series.
