Butcher's Chainsaw



The Butcher's Chainsaw is a Hardmode, post-Plantera chainsaw that has a 2.5% / (1/40 / ) chance to drop from Butchers during a Solar Eclipse. Upon striking an enemy, it will emit sparks akin to the projectiles produced by the Wand of Sparking, dealing damage to nearby enemies/extra segments as well. These sparks deal magic damage, meaning that any magic buffs, accessories, or armor will boost them. It also has a chance to inflict the On Fire! debuff (The weapon itself doesn't, the sparks will). Enemies immune to the debuff doesn't seem to resist the damage from the sparks.
