Burning

This debuff is activated when touching certain "fire" blocks (i.e. Hellstone or Meteorite). The player keeps taking damage and their movement speed is reduced until they step off the fire block. Damage is taken at a rate of approximately 30 points per second.

Equipping the Obsidian Skull, the Obsidian Shield, the Obsidian Horseshoe, the Obsidian Water Walking Boots, Lava Waders, or the Ankh Shield will make it so the player does not receive this debuff from touching certain blocks.

Trivia

 * All biomes that contain blocks that inflict this debuff have the same music as a Blood Moon.
