Shimmer

See also: Liquids

Shimmer is a liquid obtainable from the Bottomless Shimmer Bucket. It can spawn naturally in the "dontdigup" secret seed and underground shimmer biomes inside of regular seeds

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

Some of the items it can transform are:
 * if you get submerged in it, you will fall through blocks until there is a space for you to occupy. Any animations on your character or mounts freeze in this state
 * putting any item that has a crafting tree will disassemble it into its components
 * placing any ore into it will downgrade it, with 1.2 variants of ore being considered higher tiers than original variants where applicable, like platinum to gold, titanium to adamantite
 * If an accessory placed in shimmer transforms, the modifiers are not retained. The new accessory will have no modifier
 * placing a Wall of Flesh emblem into it changes the emblem, cycling from warrior, ranger, sorcerer, summoner, then warrior again
 * Debuff immunity accessories used to craft the Ankh Charm turn into other accessories for the charm, likely cycling the way emblems do
 * Any item with an Ancient counterpart will turn into it, and any ancient items turn into their modern counterpart (not tested with literally all ancient items)
 * pouring it onto NPCs and certain enemies will transform them into a shimmering variant
 * There are no unique fishing drops
 * Most projectiles bounce off the surface of the liquid
 * Upon placing a certain amount of shimmer in an area, the place will get dimmer and stars will appear in the background (like with using the aether monolith). The music that plays (according to the game) is 'Aether'.
