Sharanga

.

The Sharanga is a pre-Hardmode bow. When fired, it turns any sort of arrows into Spectral Arrows. Spectral Arrows produce a glowing effect and inflict the Cursed Inferno debuff.

This is the best bow available prior to Hardmode, and remains useful well into it.

Crafting this bow requires 10 Hellstone Bars and two Molten Fury bows, for a total of 40 Hellstone Bars (10+15+15), or 120 Hellstone and 40 Obsidian.
