Flamelash



The Flamelash is a magic weapon that launches a controllable ball of fire, similar to the Magic Missile. It is obtained from Shadow Chests in The Underworld. It can also be found in the Obsidian Lock Box found in Obsidian Crates and Hellstone Crates. When the attack button is released, the Flamelash's projectile keeps its course until it hits something. The projectile can be controlled for up to one minute before dissipating.

If an enemy is nearby, the projectile will home into the enemy on release. It can also pierce one enemy, retaining its homing ability and exploding on contact with a second enemy.

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.
 * Projectiles can hit a target twice if given enough space, it will pierce the enemy and then circle around to hit it once more.
 * It is recommend to use the Flamelash against The Twins, as the projectile will hit both eyes for reliable and consistent damage.
