Dead Sun's Wind in use. Note the increasing explosion size.

Dead Sun's Wind is a craftable Hardmode flamethrower that uses gel as ammunition. It fires high-velocity blasts of cosmic plasma that explode on impact with enemies and will ricochet on contact with tiles. The explosions produced by the plasma deal 150% of the weapon's base damage and increase in size with consecutive hits, up to a limit. If the plasma blast ricocheted off of a tile, it will also gain the ability to aggressively home in on nearby enemies.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
