Skull Mask

The Skull Mask is a mask in the shape of a skull. Like other Skull items, it is cursed and reduces luck. Jonathan can wear it in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, where it gives him a great deal of Defense (by an unlucky +13), but reduces Intelligence, Mind, and Luck by -3. This is as opposed to Jonathan's Stone Mask (which increases Luck by +1, along with +3 DEF) and the Ballroom Masque (which increases Int by +1, along with +4 DEF).
