Roman candle

The Roman Candle is a pre-hardmode magic weapon that can be purchased from the Demolitionist during Christmas. It fires a Vulcan Bolt-shaped firework that changes colors. At a fairly short range it splits into three separate fireworks, each of them exploding into three streams of color.

Bugs

 * It was sold until the Mobile 1.2 update came out. This means only Amazon users, who got the 1.2 update after Christmas, had a chance to purchase it.

Tips

 * Because it is more effective to have the three projectiles, you should aim a little off-target to allow it to split.
 * It can be obtained by changing your device's time setting to Christmas.

Trivia

 * A roman candle is a type of firework invented by the Chinese, and improved by Romans. It is not shaped like a shotgun in real life.
