Use

The Dance of Light being used against a group of Target Dummies, causing a flash of light after many hits that damages all Target Dummies including the one behind the player.

The Dance of Light is a craftable post-Moon Lord developer spell tome. When used, it rapidly summons four pairs of fast inaccurate light blades from a cone around the player towards the cursor's direction. Each pair of light blades will curve, converge, and home with each other and they pierce once and go through tiles. When the blades hit enemies up to 300 times, all nearby blades vanish, and a flash of light appears from above to damage all enemies in a large area. The flash of light deals 16,000 magic damage added by the damage of all blades that vanished, then divided by the number of enemies and will always critically hit.

Its best modifier is Mythical.
