Cursed Torch

The Cursed Torch is a green colored version of the Torch. Unlike normal torches, the Cursed Torch can be held while underwater, and is placeable in water. It is crafted by combining one Cursed Flame with 33 torches. Cursed Torches appear to turn into normal torches after a period of time (or perhaps after saving and exiting and then returning to the world) when placed in The Hallow. Using cursed torches for underwater exploring is usually better than using Glowsticks. (However, due to a bug, they disappear upon reload.)
