== Permanent items ==
=== Power-ups ===
<!-- magnified images look out of focus and abruptly cut on the edges -->There are two items which can boost player's attributes.
* [[File:Castlevania SotN Life Vial.gif]] The Life Vial can be found in various locations, and after beating any boss who does not carry a relic of Vlad. It gives +5 to Alucard's max HP, or +10 to Richter or Maria's HP, then it also refills user's HP to full.
* [[File:Castlevania SotN Heart Container.gif]] The Heart Container can be found in various locations. For Alucard, it adds 5 to both max Heart and current Heart. For Richter or Maria, it gives 30 hearts but does nothing with max Heart value.
 
=== Shop items ===
The following items can be bought at the Long Library, however they will not show up in your inventory.
* The price of Castle Map seems to be affected by tax rate in Japan by the time of game release.
* Spell books will only appear at certain period if you have never used the corresponding spell. If you already input the correct command of a spell, it will be remembered in your menu, and the spell book will not be for sale.
* Spell books 6-8 are only available in Dracula X Chronicles version.
