Mythical Lore Origins

Skeleton Blades (possibly mistranslated as Skeleton Blaze) are skeletons armed with a blade in each hand. In some games, there are two levels of skills of Skeleton Blades, the weaker one is a Blade Soldier (Blades Novice in Japan) and the more experienced one called a Blade Master. The inexperienced one is oftentimes stationary, sometimes lunging a sword forward (though it has an energy blast in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, where it is called the Skeleton Hero in the North American version). The more experienced one often jumps around, slides, and takes large swipes with the blades. Castlevania: Curse of Darkness also has a third type, called the Blaze Phantom.
