Wulfrum Screwdriver hitting a Target Dummy, spawning a screw which is hurled into another Target Dummy. Note how the screw deals significantly more damage as it is launched.

The Wulfrum Screwdriver is a craftable Pre-Hardmode melee weapon. When used, the player holds the screwdriver in the direction of the cursor. The screwdriver hits faster as it continuously hits any targets. Each hit has a 20% chance to spawn a screw if one is not present. The screw initially hovers near the player and has no effect. When right-clicked with a screw available, the screw launches. The screw is gravity-affected, cannot pierce, and deal 150% of the weapon's damage. Striking the screw with the screwdriver launches the screw in the displayed path, increasing its damage from 150% to 650% of the weapon's damage. The path taken is partially aimed towards a nearby enemy within a 37.5-tile radius. Killing an enemy with the screw has a 50% chance to recover it.

Its best modifier is Godly. It cannot get modifiers that affect size.
