Life Drain

The Life Drain is a magic weapon dropped by the Crimson Mimic found in the Crimson Biome during Hardmode.

When used, it deals constant damage to all enemies near the cursor's position, as long as the distance between the player and the cursor is unobstructed. A stream of red particles flows toward the user from each targeted enemy. While the weapon is in use, the user's life regeneration rate is increased. The weapon will drain mana as long as it is in use, regardless of whether it connects with enemies or not.

The Life Drain is unable to deal critical hits, and does not trigger either Spectre Armor set bonus.

The best modifier is Mythical.

Trivia

 * Life Drain is similar to the Vampire Knives weapon, which is a life stealing dagger projectile rather than a magic weapon. Both weapons are based around stealing health and are themed around the Crimson Biome.
