The Magic Vacuum is a vacuum cleaner that the demonic maid Persephone sometimes uses to clean the castle's floors. This device is constructed with what appears to be the neck and skull of a dragon-like creature protruding from the mouth of a big humanoid skull. It can be used by Soma Cruz when he steals Persephone's soul in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Dawn of Sorrow and Harmony of Despair. When activated, it appears and "sucks" the life out of any enemy it encounters, transferring it to Soma.
Game specific information[]
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow[]
Like in Aria of Sorrow, gaining dominance over Persephone's soul grants Soma the Magic Vacuum ability, which allows him to steal and absorb HP from enemies, although this time it can be leveled up three times (up to Level 9) by catching 9 Persephone's souls:
- Level one allows Soma to use her vacuum cleaner with teeth.
- Level two is an upgraded version with a powerful engine and four wheels.
- Level three summons Persephone herself wearing a blue maid's dress to personally clean the floor in front of her "master", which kills Unes and other low level enemies easier.
At full level, she can absorb 6 HP per hit with a cost of 5 MP per second while decently damaging enemies, which increases her usefulness. She seems to flinch when attempting to vacuum harder enemies (presumably because her vacuum gets easily stuck). She can also be summoned and dismissed very fast, which gives her the same capabilities as a Bullet Soul despite being a Guardian Soul, although she has extreme lack of range at Level 9.
Persephone is favored by many players due to her HP draining ability, allowing them to survive longer in harder fights for next to no MP when summoned strategically. Another interesting ability is that she can suck in some enemy attacks, such as Ukoback's flames, Frozen Shade's ice and icicles attacks, Skeleton's bones, Killer Clown's cards, Catoblepas and Gorgon's breaths, Gaibon's breath and fireball attacks, Golem's rock breath, Iron Golem's flame breath, all of Malphas's crows and feathers, Alura Une's rose darts, and even Death's scythes.
