Burning

This debuff is activated when touching a fire block (i.e. Hellstone or Meteorite). The player keeps taking damage and their movement speed is reduced until they step off the fire block. Damage is taken at a rate of approximately 30 points per second.

Equipping the Obsidian Skull, the Obsidian Shield, the Obsidian Horseshoe, the Obsidian Water Walking Boots, Lava Waders, or the Ankh Shield makes the player immune to this debuff.

Trivia

 * All biomes that contain blocks that inflict this debuff have the same music as a Blood Moon.
