Shimmer

See also: Liquids

Shimmer is a liquid obtainable from the Bottomless Shimmer Bucket as well as naturally occurring large underground pools at the edges of newly generated worlds. Upon Hallow generation, all water in the biome is replaced with shimmer and in such a case the astral effect applies to the background

Potentially spawns as a biome upon hallow generation in large quantities (faelings also spawn in here)

It has a variety of effects on different items and npcs, triggered through contact

Some of the items it can transform are:
 * if you step in it, you will fall through blocks until there is a space for you to occupy
 * putting any item that has a crafting tree will disassemble it into its components
 * pouring it onto npcs and certain enemies will transform them into a shimmering variant
 * There are no unique fishing drops
 * Nimbus Rod Rain droplets bounce upwards off of it
