Vile Powder

Vile Powder is an item that can be used to craft the Worm Food and Poisoned Knives. Vile Powder is crafted using Vile Mushrooms with an Alchemy Station, where 1 Vile Mushroom yields 5 Vile Powder. It is also sold by the Dryad during a Blood Moon.

Before 1.1, if it was used directly, Vile Powder created a wide purple cloud that damaged monsters. It only traveled a short distance and then dissipated quickly, but it did not damage the player. After 1.1 was released, it can be used to eliminate Hallow-based blocks to normal grass/stone. It cannot be used to create corruption, but is still considered the opposite of purification powder.

Tips

 * Vile Powder can be used through walls.
