The Bible ^[1], also known as a the Holy Book^[2] or the Grimoire^[3] (魔法の書 Mahō no Syo), is an item in Castlevania. It first appeared in Vampire Killer where a White Bible would cause the Old Crone to reduce her prices, while a Black Bible would cause her to increase her prices. In later games, it appeared as a Sub-Weapon. It is an animated Bible that can move around the screen using words that exorcise evil to causing damage.
