Shadow Potion's shadow effect.

The Shadow Potion is a craftable Pre-Hardmode buff potion. Upon consumption, it grants the Shadow buff, which provides the following effects:

  • +8% stealth regeneration
  • Transforms the player into a shadow with red glowing eyes, which are purely visual. (Effects can be disabled through the Stealth Invisibility config)
  • Causes rogue weapons to spawn shadow souls on enemy hits, which weakly home in on enemies, pass through tiles, pierce once and deal 10% of the weapon's damage. This effect has a 0.5-second cooldown.
    • This effect for stealth strikes only triggers for the first three enemies hit per projectile.
