Use

The Shadecrystal Barrage is a craftable Hardmode spell tome that is a direct upgrade to the Crystal Storm. When used, it fires two bursts of six inaccurate storm of shadecrystals which pause in between them and inflict the Frostbite debuff. The crystals can ricochet off tiles and gain velocity as they travel and slightly home on enemies after traveling fast enough.

Its best modifier is Mythical. However, the weapon's mana cost will not be affected.

Notes

• While its damage is less than the Crystal Storm, it makes up for it with increased fire rate, knockback, and the ability to inflict the Frostbite debuff.
