Summon weapons

Minions are summonable creatures that will fight for you (unlike pets).

Minions as well as pets will follow the player, can pass through blocks when trying to catch up with player (but cannot while running around), cannot be damaged or killed, and last indefinitely until their buff is cancelled, with the exception of the Frost Hydra which cannot move and will disappear after a certain amount of time.

Minions can detect enemies before the player can see them on the screen, alerting you to incoming enemies. This can be useful when building and digging.

By default player can summon only one minion. The maximum amount of active minions that currently can be achieved with all equipment bonuses is eight. You are still only able to have one light source and only one Pet active at any time, regardless of the amount active minions you have.
