The Astral Injection is a craftable Hardmode buff potion. Upon consumption it grants the player the Astral Injection buff, which provides them +120 mana regen per second at the cost of them losing 5 health and being inflicted with the Mana Sickness debuff.

Notes

  • This potion can also be obtained from Astral Crates once Astrum Aureus has been defeated.
  • This item essentially acts as a mana potion that restores 600 Mana, over a time of 5 seconds, which is superior to Supreme Mana Potions later in the game. However, they are not automatically consumed by the Mana Flower or Ethereal Talisman and are arguably harder to obtain en masse.
  • The damage inflicted by using this item does not get affected by Defense or Damage Reduction, and will not reset adrenaline while fighting a boss.

Trivia

  • This item's name is a pun based on the Astral Infection biome.
  • If the player is killed by the damage inflicted upon consumption of the potion, the death message "<PlayerName>'s blood vessels burst from drug overdose." will display.
