Beam Sword

The  is a Hardmode weapon dropped by the Armored Skeleton. The has the ability to shoot a yellow beam of light that on contact with a monster, will deal damage just like a normal hit. The beam will then disappear (non-piercing enemies and blocks). The beam of light is thrown with the normal attack button, and will not replace the swords attack (performing both attacks at the same time), and only one beam of light can be fired per second. It is not possible to select another weapon during the one second cooldown after firing a beam making you vulnerable to attack.





Trivia

 * The Beam sword is probably a reference to the original Legend of Zelda, as the starting weapon will fire an image of itself.
 * When a beam of light is ready to be fired, the sound of "Full mana" will be played, with the particle effect, even though the sword does not consume any mana.
 * There is a glitch where the beam will go through a monster, and not stop on impact.
 * The appearance of the Beam sword almost exactly looks like the Master Sword from most of the Legend of Zelda franchise.
 * Works like a weak version of the Terra Blade, True Excalibur And the True night's edge.
