Rod of Discord

The Rod of Discord is a rare drop from Chaos Elementals once Hardmode has been activated. Once highlighted in the players Inventory, the player may then click anywhere on the screen to instantly teleport to the current position of the mouse; and doing so costs no mana. The target location must be at least 3 blocks high, and 2 blocks wide for teleport to be successful. The player may teleport into any liquid, including lava.

As of 1.2.1.2, using the rod of Discord will afflict the player with Chaos State for 10 seconds, a debuff that damages the player for a fifth of their maximum life when the rod is used again before the debuff wears out. Major concerns arose over the ability to spam-teleport and the debuff was added as a deterrent.

In appearance, it resembles a pink Crimson Rod and emits a pink light with a sparkle effect around the player for up to 3 seconds after teleporting.

Tips

 * In order to teleport into a 3 block high opening, the player must aim the mouse at the floor.
 * Teleporting will cancel Fall Damage.
 * Teleporting will not reset Jetpack, or Wings flight time. However, flight time may be lengthened due to both items having a slow-fall mechanic.
 * The Rod of Discord can teleport to pitch-black areas. This allows the player to discover, and move to undiscovered caverns without having to dig.
 * Using Spelunker Potions and Hunter Potions can aid in finding natural underground and cavern openings to teleport to.

Trivia

 * Many considered this item to be game-breaking prior to 1.2.1.2. Some considered it to be game-saving.
 * The Rod of Discord (and the teleporter) could be used to enter and bypass all of the Lihzahrd without a Temple Key, skipping straight to the Golem Boss. ((Note that the Rod will allow teleportation into the Temple once again after it has been unlocked.))
 * The Rod of Discord was one of the fastest ways to travel before it was nerfed; on larger resolutions you could teleport ~100+ bricks horizontally per second.
 * The Use Time on the Rod of Discord was low enough that, with enough clicking speed, the player could gain altitude. This was confirmed before being nerfed, so attempting this is not recommended.
