Not to be confused with Phantasmal Fury, a similarly-themed magic weapon.

The Phantasmal Ruin is a craftable Hardmode post-Plantera non-consumable javelin. It throws a fast ghost lance that goes through tiles and explodes into 4 homing spirits on enemy hits while disappearing on direct hit.

Performing a stealth strike with the Phantasmal Ruin will cause the next spear thrown to pierce twice and summon more homing spirits from below on each hit that deal 185% of the weapon's damage.

Its best modifier is Flawless.
