Use

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. It shoots a laser beam that splits into smaller beams that travel through blocks on tile contact and inflicts shadowflame to enemies. 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 despawns. The main beam's increased damage also carries over when splitting to secondary beams.

The projectiles can inflict Shadowflame for 10 seconds.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

• The Resentful Enchantment synergises very well with the natural ability of the weapon, further increasing the damage it deals over large distances.
