	~ Dracula Wraith to Juste Belmont

Background

The Dracula Wraith was an evil spirit spawned from Count Dracula’s remains in conjunction with Maxim Kischine’s mind. This evil spirit, having been born from Dracula’s remains, takes on Dracula’s form and possesses a small bit of the Dark Lord’s intelligence.

After the Dracula Wraith was created from contact between Maxim and the Dracula remains, it went on to house itself within Maxim’s mind and take control of him, developing a persona within him that came to be known as Dark Maxim. With Dracula’s Wraith risen, Dracula’s Castle rose with him; furthermore, Maxim’s split personalities spawned a parallel dimension, a complete copy of the castle, known as Castle B.

Now as Dark Maxim, the Dracula Wraith headed back to Maxim’s hometown and kidnapped Maxim’s childhood friend, Lydie Erlanger. He then took her to the castle, which he did to draw out Maxim’s friend, Juste Belmont. As expected, Juste entered the castle immediately and searched for Lydie.

Eventually as Juste was through with traversing both Castle A and Castle B, he reached the room where Lydie was being held. The Dracula Wraith revealed himself within Maxim, and was finally forced out of his body by Maxim’s willpower. Realizing that he needs blood to achieve his completed form, the Dracula Wraith attacked Juste Belmont.

Unfortunately for it, the Dracula Wraith was completely destroyed and wiped from existence by Juste Belmont. Fully completed, the Dracula Wraith stated that the Belmont Clan would be cursed to fight for eternity, and then it was gone. The real Count Dracula would then be resurrected nearly 44 years later.

With time in Castlevania being so potent that not even eternity can withstand time, along with even artificial life being subject to the laws of time), Text Manipulation & Plot Manipulation (Passive; Vital Souls are all just a part of Dracula's powers, where is noted by Lucy that the "vital soul" of a monster is the cause of the grimoire chaos where creatures of the night's dark powers allowed them to rewrite the Grimoires to greatly strengthen their dark powers, along with Their vital souls causing the grimoires contents to be overwritten changing history to things such as Jonathan Morris is now at a disadvantage in battle, or Charlotte fading from existence due to them messing with the history of the Grimoires, Maria starting to fade because Richter's history is being rewritten, where if the contents of the book change the creatures magic will keep growing and eventually overflow into reality, causing the grimoire to fall into chaos and even more monsters materializing into the real world. The text alterations also make the monsters stronger. With the real world and world of grimoires being one and the same. Death was going to use Dracula's magic to rewrite Dracula's defeat to Trevor making it where Dracula defeats Trevor Belmont instead where Dracula would go on living in the rewritten grimoire with each grimoire being its own world and the grimoires influence extends into reality).

Even while greatly weakened, when the Aurora was used on Dracula, he greatly resisted it, requiring two master magicians to affect him. Dracula's power is so great that very few magical items can truly hold his magic within a seal, requiring the usage of an entire library worth of grimoires in order to truly seal away just his magic alone. The only reason Brauner was able to seal away Dracula was due to him not reviving completely otherwise his seals would be easily broken by Dracula's power), Fire Manipulation (Dracula is naturally strongly resistant to fire based attacks), Electricity Manipulation (Dracula is naturally strongly resistant to thunder based attacks), Poison Manipulation (Dracula is naturally immune to poison based attacks), Spatial Manipulation (Brauner using Dracula's power spatially segregated Dracula from the castle), Power Modification, Information Manipulation, Text Manipulation & Plot Manipulation (Dracula's magic and powers have no limits posed on it from the grimoires where heroes summoned from the catalogue are unable to stray too far from its contents and have limited actions they can do having summoned heroes have their powers greatly limited from their true strength), Fate Manipulation & Death Manipulation (Death serves Dracula with unfailing loyalty, where Death is noted to govern the fate of death, being noted to have the power to govern the end of all living things, and can use his scythes to kill abstractions such as distance and sound. Death decides who lives and who dies), Immortality Negation (The Vampire Killer is unable to strip Dracula of his immortality whereas the Vampire Killer can render immortal skeleton death gods like Death, mortal, having him bleed from attacks, giving him mortality as shown when Death dies to his own scythe cutting off his head and having blood spurt out, something not possible as a skeleton, and can kill Death to the point that he requires Mathias to survive in order for him to rise from the dead)

The castle is directly steered by Dracula's power, and has these effects: Magic (The castle pulses with dark magical power. The castle uses magic to do things like re-animate corpses, along with skeletons), Reality Warping (The Castle does not work on standard logic, where changing rooms can have one view a completely different background, such as room with a blue sky that is reflecting up and downwards and having the clouds rotate at a fast speed), Transmutation (Beings that come near are subject to the castle's influence, such as a local barnyard owl which was mutated just from flying near it), Save and Load (The castles magic has rooms where one can sit on a chair and is enveloped in the angelic wings of light, allowing them to save their progress, with these chairs being acknowledged in rooms in the castle with a description), Possession (The castle possesses objects with its magic, such as a ouija table), Bestowal (The castle enables one to keep their mind after dying, becoming a ghost), Mind Bestowal (The castle can bestow a mind through its magic), Soul Bestowal (The castle can bestow a soul through its magic.

The castle reanimates human bones as monsters by its evil magic. The Castle created the Executioner from numerous dead bodies), Fusionism (The Castle can create an abomination made from numerous dead bodies), Mind Manipulation (Everything that enters the castle is under the control by the power of Dracula's castle, the ghost of Eric Lecarde needed to cast a magic barrier to bind himself so he could be free from the control of the castle. The Castle corrupts the minds of those who enter it, such as making Maxim Kischine feel strange ever since coming to it. It also corrupted the mind of Hugh turning him against Nathan with Nathan noting he's being controlled by Dracula. The castle increases one's dark desires, allowing Dracula to easily control them.

Other

Standard Tactics: Much like regular Dracula, Dracula's Wraith does not directly fight the opponent, instead having enemies and the Castle fight them. If the person survives all of these, then Dracula's wraith opens his cape and releases three-directional fireballs. He will then expel seven flaming spheres as his second attack. If defeated in his first form, he will enter his second form, a giant amalgamated version of all of Dracula's remains, where he has a long and extendible tentacle, and will shoot a large energy beam out of his eye. He will also stop for a moment and perform a luning-downward swipe.

Weaknesses

• Creature of the Night Weaknesses: Creatures of the night become weaker when exposed to the morning sun. Garlic significantly weakens creatures of the night, and causes demons to die if its placed on the ground. If a vital soul is defeated, the grimoire will revert back to its original content.
• Standard Vampire Weaknesses: After a vampire is sufficiently weakened, the sunlight can kill them. Otherwise Vampires can stand out in the sunlight just fine. Though some weaker vampires can have the sun burn them overtime, killing them. Oak Stakes are able to break through the magic of a weakened vampire. Defeating a vampire will stop the effects of someone they have bitten, but only before they've turned. This is shown in Harmony of Dissonance where through Juste killing Dracula's Wraith, the bite marks on Lydie have vanished. Vampries refelections do not appear on mirrors, making them easier to identify.
• Unique Weaknesses: Dracula's head seems to be a weak point, whereas the rest of his body is immune to damage, his head isn't. Dracula can be separate from his castle through a solar eclipse, which allowed him to be destroyed for good. The most effective weapon against Dracula are opposite emotions, the noble emotions of humanity, being their hopes and dreams. Dracula has a weakness to the light/holy element, though he loses this weakness in his transformed state. This can also further be seen as his resurrection being incomplete, as a Dracula with a completed resurrection had no such weakness to holy attacks. Cutting off the throne room will prevent Dracula's resurrection.

Note

• Dracula's Wraith is not Dracula, he is the suppressed desires of Maxim Kischine while he was holding the remains of Dracula forming a separate spirit entirely. This spirit went on to possess Dracula's remains, becoming the Dracula wraith. The Wraith is also unfamiliar with the power of the Belmonts, with Juste callng it a "Vile spawn of Maxim". Dracula's Wraith also notes that it will fade away for good from the world, not noting the usual thing racula notes of him always coming back due to humanity's greed and want of him.
• Contrary to popular belief, holy attacks and the whips in Castlevania can affect and harm people that aren't apart of the creatures of the night. Leon's doppelganger can use holy water and holy attacks against him in this fight along with the alchemy whip despite Leon being a pure and noble warrior. Simon's doppelganger can harm him with the vampire killer, despite Simon being a noble hero. Holy Water even works and harms enemies such as the "Holy Armor", a knight who has natural holy powers. Corrupted enemies such as Charlie Vincent, use holy water attacks on Carrie and Reinhardt.

Trivia

• Dracula Wraith's Japanese voice actor, Takuo Kawamura, performed four characters in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance: Maxim Kischine, the Merchant, Death, and the Dracula Wraith.
• When correctly starting a Hard Mode game, the Dracula Wraith's attack phrase is spoken upon confirming.
• Despite the Dracula Wraith using the six relics Juste Belmont obtained to form its body, Juste still has access to them all in the Relic screen during both battles.
