Demon Sword/Items (Fudo Myouoden)

Automatic items
These items appear when regular enemies are defeated. You can stock up on them by collecting as many as you can, and they will be used automatically whenever they are needed.

Selectable projectiles
Aside from the white orb, which you begin the game with, you must defeat bosses at the end of several stages in order to receive various other throwing objects available in the game.

Immediate scrolls
Scrolls will appear instead of automatic items when an enemy is attacked in a particular way. As soon as you collect them, they go into effect for a limited period of time. Note that the effects of some scrolls take priority over others.

Special powers
Special powers are obtained from inside rooms behind locked doors. Either the item will be presented to you in the hands of a statue, or you must defeat a mini-boss to obtain it. You can store them up, and each use will use up one stock.
