Taser Hook
The Taser is a craftable Pre-Hardmode ranged weapon. When used, a slow hook is fired from the edge of the weapon, attempting to attach to the first enemy it hits and inflicting the Electrified debuff. After a short time has passed, the hook returns to the player, hitting any targets it contacts without sticking to them.
The weapon consumes 0.05 units of charge per use and has a maximum charge of 50. As such, the weapon can be used continuously from full charge 1000 times, or for 41 minutes and 40 seconds.
Its best modifier is Demonic, as it does not have any knockback and thus cannot get modifiers that affect it.
