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.
Usage
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
It is an effective weapon against many bosses in Symphony of the Night, particularly the Succubus. 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 produces a large burst of electricity. There are four Agunea to be found in the game, spread across both castles. It has been described as a "lightning ring" and a "taser" by different people, although there is no definitive answer as to just what the Agunea is, although some suspect it to be a derringer type pistol.
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence
Agunea can be used by combining the Cross sub-weapon with the White Orb.
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
- "Strips away foes life with holy lightning."
- — Description

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 is interpreted as lightning.
- Alucard's lightning attack while jumping in Castlevania Judgment is most likely inspired by his Agunea sub-weapon in Symphony of the Night, though it cannot be continuously applied.
