The Aether's Whisper projectile splitting into multiple upon impact with a block, with the resulting projectiles hitting several Target Dummies and traveling through tiles.
The Aether's Whisper is a craftable post-Moon Lord magic gun and the direct upgrade to the Plasma Rod. When used, it fires a laser beam that cannot pass through blocks and splits into 8 beams upon contact with tiles. The secondary beams can pass through blocks. The main beam additively and linearly increases its damage every frame as it exists, reaching a maximum of 200% after 0.5 seconds in which the projectile dissipates. The main beam's increased damage also carries over when splitting to secondary beams. The projectiles inflict the Shadowflame debuff for 10 seconds.
Its best modifier is Mythical.
