A Directional Shard (Purple Shard) is a type of Shard in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Description[]
Directional Shards are similar to Conjure Shards in that they both are magical attacks that can be unleashed by Miriam. However, Conjure Shards are one-shot attacks that follow a fixed direction, while Directional Shards have adjustable direction and can be held down. Directional Shards are purple colored.

Aurora[]
Aurora's Light Ray is listed as a Directional Shard in Johannes's menu and can be enhanced there. However, it is an innate ability that Aurora's own interface only labels as a "Skill", and it functions differently from Miriam's Directional Shards in that it locks onto targets directly in front of Aurora with no capacity for aiming.
