Trivia

  • Deicide is one of only two skills 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, which is attached to the 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.
