Magic Dagger



The Magic Dagger is a Hardmode magic weapon that operates exactly as the Throwing Knife, but uses Mana, instead of consuming stacks of the item. It also causes more than triple the damage. A single Magic Dagger can be thrown limitlessly whenever Mana is available, and is never consumed. The Magic Dagger is dropped by Mimics.

Magic Daggers will fly in a direct line in the direction where you click for the first 16 tiles of distance, then suddenly start being affected by gravity and losing forward momentum (unless being thrown downwards). They also produce a small amount of light on impact.

Its best Modifier is Mythical.

Tips

 * Because the projectiles are small and have an unusual trajectory, it may take some time to learn how to aim them effectively.

Trivia

 * The Magic Dagger may be a reference to the many Castlevania games, where a magic dagger can be found and used until the player is out of hearts.
 * After receiving a massive buff in 1.2, it is one of the more powerful magic weapons in the game, capable of putting out damage almost on par with a Megashark, if the player is actually capable of clicking that quickly and accurately.
 * Even though the tooltip says it returns it doesn't.
