Red Jewel



 Red jewels are items that appear in Castlevania: Bloodlines, found mostly in candles. They add one jewel to the overall counter.



 Replacing the Heart items, these are needed for John Morris and Eric Lecarde to use subweapons, with a certain amount being used depending on how the weapon is weilded (if used singularly, it costs only one jewel to use. If an Item Crash is utilized, it will use more). Rather than slowly floating to the ground like smal hearts when the candle is hit, jewels will just simply drop straight down.



 Instead of starting the game with five jewels in the counter, the player starts off with zero, and ends up starting with zero each time he dies. Also, at the end of level tally, the player will get points depending on how many jewels he has in the end, but the jewel amount will remain the same going into the next level rather than being depleted.
