Explosion

The Cauldron is a craftable Pre-Hardmode magic weapon. When used, the player holds the cauldron overhead which lobs gravity-affected lava bombs towards the cursor. Upon impact with a tile or enemy, the lava bombs cause a small explosion that deals 66% of the weapon's damage as well as erupting into 3 smaller bombs with similar behavior. Small bombs deal 50% of the weapon's damage directly and their explosions deal 25% damage. The lava bombs and explosions inflict the Hellfire debuff.

Using the weapon while submerged in lava or while in The Underworld will reduce its mana usage by 80%.

Its best modifier is Mythical.
