Stream Gouge
Portal
The Stream Gouge is a craftable post-Moon Lord melee weapon. When used, the spear spins around the player but does not deal damage while spinning. After spinning for a moment, it spawns a portal in the direction of the cursor which then causes the spear to repeatedly stab through the portal and deal damage on contact. It will always stab in the direction of where the portal spawns regardless of cursor position. While stabbing through the portal, two additional portals spawn near the cursor that each rapidly stab out a copy of the spear in random directions. Hitting enemies with the spear copies cause a tear of nebula cloud-like particles to form which are purely cosmetic.
Its best modifier is Godly. It cannot get modifiers that affect size. Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has 100% critical strike chance.
