Flamelash



The Flamelash is a magic weapon that launches a controllable ball of fire, similar to the Magic Missile, which also emits light and produces sparks that fall through blocks. When the attack button is released, the ball keeps its course until it hits something. The ball can be controlled for up to one minute before dissipating. The Flamelash is obtained from Shadow Chests in The Underworld.

Tips

 * The light particles that the projectile emits can fall deep into the ground, illuminating the area below even if it is not hollow. This is useful for finding undiscovered caverns or ores.
 * Because of its controllable nature, the Flamelash can be used to safely clear out overgrown caves, while providing light. It will also clear Thorny Bushes without fading away and can easily dispatch Hornets.
 * It has potential to be an effective magic weapon well into Hardmode.
