Use
The Primordial Earth is a craftable Hardmode spell tome. It is a direct upgrade to the Death Valley Duster, firing dust blows with a greater area of effect and dealing higher DPS. The dust blows can pass through tiles and burst into explosions of dust upon hitting an enemy, which each last for about a second and deal damage on contact and inflict the Armor Crunch debuff.
Its best modifier is Mythical.
