The Culexus Assassin slays his foe by using a deadly psychic blast directed through an ancient device known as an [[Animus Speculum]]. It is unknown how this device functions fully, but it is speculated that the warp energy separated from its targets by the null aura of the Culexus is held in this device and then unleashed. Indeed, the weapon becomes more and more potent when within the vicinity of psykers. The device fires bolts of negative psychic energy and drains the power of nearby psykers to bolster its power. Secondly, the Culexus carries an Etherium, a device that induce enormous distortion and confusion in all nearby enemies , psychic or not, . Combined with the fact that the enemy is already disconcerted by the soulless Culexus combined with , the Etherium makes the Culexus impossible to target.<sup>2</sup>
Culexus assassins also make use of [[Psyk-out|psyk-out grenades]], which are devastating to psykers, but do nothing to those without psychic potential. The grenades utilize a substance that is said to be a by-product of the constant workings of the Golden Throne itself.
