Shadow Orb (item)

The Shadow Orb creates a slowly moving sphere which follows the player around and emits dim light. The orb can move through anything and casts light when submerged in water, but moves very slowly causing it to fall behind when the player is moving quickly. If it falls far enough behind, it will teleport to the player's location. It can be acquired from destroyed Shadow Orbs (20% or 1/5 chance).

Controls
The orb can be moved up or down using the respective keys: Up Arrow and Down Arrow Keys, but can't be moved in console version.
