Use
The Forbidden Sun is a craftable Hardmode spell tome. When used, it fires a fireball that erupts into a giant lingering explosion upon collision. The explosion lingers for two seconds, dealing rapid damage to enemies caught in its radius. The explosion can damage enemies through tiles. If the fireball hits a liquid, the fireball will dissipate, and the explosion will not occur. Both the fireball and the explosion inflict the Hellfire debuff.
Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes
- The Forbidden Sun's explosion always launches enemies to the right. Combined with its high knockback and hits per second, it can be dangerous to attack enemies not resistant to knockback that are on the left side of the player, as they will often be launched towards them.
Trivia
- Its name may be a reference to the Dark Souls II fire spell of the same name, which has a similar explosive effect.
