• +15% damage
• +100% potion buff duration and potion buffs remain active even after death
• While invincibility is active (i.e. when the player takes damage, enters the world, or uses the Magic Mirror or its upgrades), shade raindrops rain from the sky. They deal 300 damage, can pass through tiles, and do not pierce.
  • Additionally, enemies in a 12.5-18.75 tile radius are inflicted with the following debuffs. Both the range and debuff duration increases depending on the amount of damage taken.
    • Acid Venom for 5-8 seconds.
    • Astral Infection for 5-8 seconds.

    • Irradiated for 5-8 seconds.

    • Sulphuric Poisoning for 5-8 seconds.
• Ability to dodge attacks.
  • After dodging, the player is inflicted with the Cerebral Mindtrick debuff, which increases critical strike chance and summon damage by 10%.
  • Dodges do not trigger if an attack deals less than 5% of the player's maximum health. Dodge cooldown depends on how much damage was dodged, ranging from 15 seconds at 5% maximum health to 90 seconds at 50% maximum health. This cooldown is shared with all other regular dodges and reflects.
