Tomes are magic books used as weapons by Charlotte Aulin.

Game specific information[]

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin[]

While they lack physical power compared to Jonathan's weaponry, they compensate this by being an early source of elemental melee attacks and/or having extra vertical range. Besides, they are one of the fastest melee weapon classes in the game, only outclassed by short swords and fists in speed.

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls[]

Main article: Tome/Grimoire of Souls

Tomes behave differently in Grimoire of Souls, firing magic projectiles instead of being melee weapons. The basic attack can be fired at an upward or downward 45 degree angle, and also charged for a more powerful shot.
