The Mana Polarizer is a Pre-Hardmode accessory that is dropped by The Slime God. When equipped, it increases the player's maximum mana by 50 and increases magic damage by 6%. Additionally, striking an enemy with magic projectiles will spawn a short-lingering healing orb. Upon contact with the player, the orb heals for 20% of the projectile's damage multiplied by the ratio of the player's current mana over their maximum mana. This healing will only work if the player is holding a magic weapon. The more the player is healed, the less often healing orbs are spawned from an enemy. However, it will reduce the player's life regen by 3 while they are above 50% of their maximum mana.

Notes

  • The health drain effect directly subtracts from any life regen the player has. If the player naturally regenerates less than 1.5 health per second, it will cause continuous damage over time while the player is above 50% of their maximum mana.
  • The health drain of the Mana Polarizer is considered a damaging debuff, which can activate the defensive bonuses of the Crown Jewel.

Trivia

  • If the player is killed by the health drain, the death message will read "<PlayerName>'s life was completely converted into mana."
