Fulgur is the name for any lightning related glyph. "Fulgur" is Latin for "lightning". There are two kinds of Fulgur glyphs:
- One is a lightning strike that arcs upward and then strikes down on top of the nearest enemy, which is performed with the "Vol Fulgur" glyph in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia and with the "Fulgur" glyph in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.
- The other is a lightning ball called Lightning Bolt, which is performed with the "Fulgur" glyph in Order of Ecclesia.
In Order of Ecclesia, when any two Fulgur glyphs are used in a Glyph Union, a bolt of lightning crashes down on Shanoa's position and a large ball of lightning is formed above Shanoa's head. It remains in place for a few seconds and releases bolts of electricity at any enemy on the screen. When used with any normal weapon glyph, a giant lightning spear is thrust forward, hitting multiple times. Fulgur glyphs are incompatible with any other glyph.

Notes
- Most probably the names of both glyphs, "Fulgur" and "Vol Fulgur", were erroneously interchanged in the final release of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. "Vol" usually denotes a glyph of medium power, and "Vol Fulgur", which is the weakest of the Fulgur glyphs, can be found very early in the game in the Minera Prison Island. The "Fulgur" glyph, which is a medium powered lightning glyph, cannot be acquired until Shanoa reaches Tristis Pass, where she can steal it from the Thunder Demon. To make more evident this possible error, in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair the names seem to have been corrected. "Fulgur" now acts like the weak lightning strike of the "Vol Fulgur" version that appeared in Order of Ecclesia.
