Saros Possession is a craftable post-Moon Lord summon weapon that is a direct upgrade to Sirius. When used, it summons a spinning radiant aura around the player that fires 3 homing flares at nearby enemies, which explode on contact. The aura will also fire a homing radiant orb on every other shot, along with 3 homing flares, which causes a large explosion of particles on enemy hits. There can only be one aura summoned at a time and the aura takes up 8 minion slots. The aura also provides a moderate amount of light.
Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Saros Possession has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
