Flying Knife

The Flying Knife is a unique melee weapon that throws a reusable cursor-controllable projectile (similar to the Magic Missile mechanic, though more erratic, and with no mana cost). Holding the button after use directs the projectile's general path, although it also continually moves on its own and ricochets off blocks. It returns to the player when the button is released, or after one minute of continuous use. Being a melee weapon, it costs no mana or ammunition. It is dropped by the Hallowed Mimic.

The Flying Knife also emits a good deal of light during use.

The 'Weak' prefix is unusually useful, as it reduces the distance enemies are knocked away from your cursor. It is very effective against worm type enemies. It's best modifier is Ruthless.
