True Night's Edge

The True Night's Edge is the third strongest sword in Terraria, beaten only by the Terra Blade, the The Horseman's Blade, and the Chlorophyte Claymore.

It shoots a large light blade similar in appearance to the Night's Edge forward on attack. This ability has a short cooldown, so if the sword is being swung rapidly not every swing will fire a glowing sword. If you're standing right next to a solid wall or door which is only one block thick then the fired glowing sword can pass through it. However, it can't pass through the ceiling or floor.

Trivia

 * The True Night's Edge does more damage than the True Excalibur, yet the Night's Edge does less damage than the Excalibur.
 * The Excalibur and Night's Edge may be a reference to the game series Soulcalibur, in which there is a good sword called the Soul Calibur, and an evil sword called the Soul Edge. This may be a coincidence.
