The Time Bolt is a craftable post-Moon Lord dagger. When used, it throws a knife that emits glowing blue particles as it travels. When the knife hits an enemy or a tile, it releases a large blue field in a 19-tile range that inflicts the Time Distortion debuff. When hitting an enemy, the main dagger will dissipate and spawn 4 copies of itself to hit nearby enemies in random directions, however the dagger copies will not spawn more fields. The Time Bolt's dagger copies function similarly to the Influx Waver's sword beams.
Performing a stealth strike with the Time Bolt will spawn 9 copies of itself instead of 4, increase the range of the field to 32 tiles, and slightly increase the duration of the Time Distortion debuff.
Its best modifier is Flawless.

Trivia
- The item's tooltip is a reference to famous cosmologist Stephen Hawking's quote: "There should be no boundaries to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope."
