Trivia

• Deicide is the only skill in Shadows of Valentia that is attached to a black magic spell, in this case Nosferatu. It is also one of two skills in the game that is attached to any magic spell, the other being Anti-Terrors attached to the white magic spell Seraphim.
  • Deicide's attachment to Nosferatu is presumably in reference to a glitch in the original Gaiden; Nosferatu is able to slay Duma. In the original game this behavior was clearly unintended, as doing this causes minor graphical glitches with the closing scenes and credits.
