The [[Water Bolt]] is a magic spell found in the [[Dungeon]]s of Terraria, hidden amongst the numerous [[book]]s on the shelves within. When cast, it releases a blue, ricocheting projectile which looks very similar to the spells used by [[Dark Caster]]s. Similar to the [[Flower of Fire]], the bolt will bounce up to five times off of solid objects. However, unlike the Flower of Fire, Water Bolts are not affected by gravity, and will travel in straight lines and go through enemies until they dissipate.
   
  +
The Water Bolt is slower, does less damage per hit, and costs more [[Mana]] to use than the Flower of Fire. On the flip side, it can hit enemies multiple times, potentially dealing more damage overall, and aiming a straight-moving Water Bolt is somewhat easier than predicting the arc of a bouncing ball of fire.

Hovering the cursor over the book will show the water bolt book beside the cursor, Right clicking it will drop it. Once picked up it cannot be placed again. Water Bolt cannot be crafted, does not appear in [[Chest]]s, and does not drop as loot from enemies.

{{Magic Weapons}}
===General gameplay===
 
 
==== Controls: Crouch and crawl ====
 
While standing still, press down:
 
* Over a platform: Jump down.
 
* Over a solid surface: Crouch. The character is now 2 tiles tall, 2 tiles long.
 
While couching:
 
* Press up to stand up.
 
* Press jump to stand up and jump.
 
* Press Left or right to walk while crouching, the character moves 33% slower.
 
* Press down again to crawl (or jump down if over a platform). The character becomes 1 tile tall, 3 tiles long.
 
While crawling
 
* Press up to crouch.
 
* Press jump to stand up.
 
* Press left or right to crawl around. The character moves 66% slower.
 
 
====New mechanic: degeneration effects====
 
They damage health over time, weakening the target, instead dealing direct damage.
 
* Types:There are two kinds of degeneration:
 
** Toxin. Dealt mostly by bugs in the jungle, but also by black jellies and goblin thieves. It doesn't deal damage, instead, it reduces the maximum health. The character's skin takes a greenish tint and have green flare sparks coming from them (like the molten armor, just green), and the hearts slowly turn orange, then yellow and then green one by one. Each green heart is 20 maximum HP 'lost' to toxin, 1 health is trapped like that each second. Green hearts are 'hijacked' by the toxin and can't be healed until the toxin is removed. When there's no more hearts to turn green, you die. When the effect is over, the green hearts become empty, and they must be healed.
 
** Contagion. Dealth mostly by purple slimes, zombies, and enemies from the corruption biome. Much slower, but harder to remove. Spreads to other players and NPCs when the sprites touch. NPCs and characters with contagion have a purple tint in their skin, and have a purple corruption spark effect coming from them (like the oen from the shadow armor, but brighter). Deals damage equal to 1% of maximum health each second in players, and up to 5 damage for other monsters. No hit damage numbers being show, instead, health goes down like when drowning, and all red hearts turn purple.
 
*:It is possible to have both contagion and toxin at the same time, in which case hearts turn from purple to green instead from red to green.
 
*:The effects don't stack, and can't be applied again until they are removed. You can't deal another 200 seconds of toxin to someone that is already poisoned.
 
* Removal.
 
**Both effects go away on their own after 200 seconds, or if the character dies.
 
** There are currently two flowers randomly spawning in grass and clay pots. They would become available to gather. Blue ones would be named 'lilies' and purple ones 'violets'. Lilies are used to craft 2 antidote(2 bottle + 2 gel + lily, removes toxin) and violets to craft 2 antiviral (2 bottle + 2 gel + violet, removes contagion). Flowers in grass have a 100% chance to drop a flower when cut, but flowers in pots have only a 33.333...% chance.
 
* Exploitation
 
** Players can apply toxin and disease to their projectiles and weapons.
 
***Projectiles:
 
****5 Poison arrows: 1 Hornet stinger + 15 arrows.
 
****1 Disease arrow: 1 Vile mushroom + 4 arrows .
 
****10 Toxic bullets: 1 Hornet stinger + 30 bullets.
 
****5 Corrupted arrow: 1 Vile mushroom + 20 bullets.
 
***Weapons:
 
****10 Toxin vials: 1 hornet stinger + 2 bottle + 2 gel.
 
****5 Contagion vials: 1 hornet stinger + 2 bottle + 2 gel.
 
****Use the vials, and your melee attacks (with both weapons and tools) will deal toxin or contagion the next 20 times they hit. Only one of each works at the same time. IT would be denoted by a green or purple drop icon on the screen and a number next to it.
 
 
====New mechanic: Weather====
 
Weather affects areas, not the entire map, the sky changes when entering an area with a different weather. Only surface areas are affected.
 
* Sunny area - The sun gets brighter, and there are no clouds - Grass and trees grow faster if the previous weather was rain. Water slowly disappears.
 
* Rainy area - Water slowly increases. Corruption spread is slowered.
 
* Cloudy area - Default. Nothing special happen, just like now.
 
* Snowy area - Freezes dirt and mud in the area. Corruption spread is hastened.
 
* Stormy area - Random lightning strikes hit the area. They kill monsters like the fallen stars. They also destroy all dynamite can destroy, but in a thin line. Players can make lightning rods from iron and place them in their houses to prevent this.
 
 
====New mechanic: Endurance====
 
Endurance limits how much time one can continuously use tools.
 
*Endurance partially replaces the time it takes to use lesser tools. Lower-end tools won't be as slow as they are now but consume more endurance, better would be as fast as they are now, and consume less endurance.
 
*Players start with 500 endurance. But that number can be increased later.
 
*Endurance appears in screen as a series of glasses filled with water, the size of a heart or a mana star, and each glass would be 500 endurance. Unlike stars and hearts that 'fade', the small rectangles get 'emptied' over time, as if they were glasses filled with green stuff.
 
*Consumption and recovery of endurance.
 
**Using tools would reduce endurance. Only uses that do something count: digging, mining, chopping trees or breaking walls. Cutting grass, hitting the air, emoving furniture, building bricks or hitting enemies with tools won't consume endurance. Better tools consume less endurance. For example:
 
***Copper: Slow speed - 7 endurance
 
***Iron: Slow speed - 6 endurance.
 
***Silver: Medium speed - 6 endurance.
 
***Gold: Medium speed 5 endurance
 
***Demonic: Fast speed 5 endurance.
 
***Meteor: Fast - 4 Endurance.
 
***Molten: Fast 3 endurance.
 
**Players can stop using tools, and endurance will slowly recover on its own, for example, stop digging to fight enemies for a while. Endurance recovers faster the less endurance you have. The first rectangle
 
**Some magical items would add endurance regeneration, and some reduced endurance consumption.
 
**Silk could be used to make 'work clothing' that offers little protection, but reduces endurance consumption by 50%.
 
**Food would be added to instantly and quickly recover endurance.
 
*** A kitchen recipe would be added, to 'craft' food. It would require wood, iron and steel.
 
*** A cook NPC would be added, to sell food. Appears when a room gets a kitchen, and they usually stay only in rooms with kitchens.
 
*** Edible animals would be added:
 
**** Game mammals: rabbits, deers, wild boars. Must use non-magical melee or ranged weapons, and normal ammo.
 
**** Birds: pheasant, partridge, seagull. Must use bows or guns.
 
**** Fish: Trout, salmon, eel. Must use a fishing rod while on the surface. The merchant sells a basic reed fishing rod, players can make better ones with wood, copper, iron, etc.
 
**:To get meat from them, a proper tool must be used, otherwise they won't drop meat when killed (you can't use magic weapons, explosives or spells, that would just kill the animal, dropping no meat)
 
**:Corruption could affect animals that enter there, turning them into corrupted creatures, for example, birds would turn into eaters of souls would they enter a corrupted area.
 
*** Edible plants would be added too, about 10 different ones, including sunflowers (used to make oil).
 
*** Some ingredients can be used to make other ingredients, for example, birds may drop also eggs, not just meat, and eggs and oil could be used to make mayonnaise. Then you can use mayonnaise to make sandvich.
 
*** Mushrooms (excepting vile ones) could be used to cook too. They would also count as food and give 250(mushroom) and 500(glowing mushroom) endurance when eaten.
 
*** There would be at least about 27 different recipes.
 
*Increasing max endurance.
 
*:Players would start with 200 maximum endurance. To increase maximum endurance, players must eat varied. The first time a dish is eaten, endurance increases by 100, up to a maximum of 2000. So, to get 'stronger' one must eat varied stuff, not just one thing.
 
 
=== Single-player gameplay ===
 
====Wait====
 
Accessed from the Pause menu, this option lets you skip x hours into the future without having to wait with the game unpaused.
 
 
===Online gameplay===
 
====Claiming land====
 
**To claim land, one most make stakes out of wood. No workbench is necessary. Stakes are small 1x2 sticks that are put on the ground. Once in palace, only the host and the owner can remove them.
 
**Land is claimed by placing 4 stakes in a rectangular area. After placignthe first stake, anytime you select stakes to place, 4 red lines appear from all of your other stakes. You can now place more stakes in the path of those red lines. When all 4 stakes are in place, your area is claimed and the red lines become green lines. You can see the claim lines when holding a stake in your hand, or by having the inventory open, your own lines are green, other player's are blue. The lines have a limit of two screens (about 50 tiles/100feet), so the max amount of terrain one can claim is 50x50. Each player can claim only one mass of land, and it must contain at least 10 tiles over surface level.
 
**Only the owner and the host can remove items from claimed land.
 
====Server-side character saving====
 
**Servers can set the option to keep the characters in the server. Each user gets an unique id (for example, steam user ID). This prevents people from entering worlds with all gear when the host wants only people starting from scratch.
 
 
===UI improvements===
 
* Pause menu (Default key ESC) with access to settings.
 
* Use item in inventory: Click an item with the middle mouse button to use it while the inventory is open.
 
* Lock item in inventory: Click while holding the lock key (Default: T) to lock an item. The item gets a lock icon in the corner of the inventory slot, and it can't be dropped or moved into containers, only moved to other inventory and equipment slots. To unlock the item, click on it again while holding the lock key.
 
* Screen resolution
 
* Show the ammo that will be used and the total amount left of it (adding all stacks in the inventory) over the respective weapons, when they appear in any of the the 10 quick slots. Numbers don't appear when the inventory is open, only when closed.
 
* Add 3 ammo equipment slots. When the inventory is closed and a ranged weapon that can use any of these ammo is selected, the slots appear in the bottom-right side of the screen, and you can click them to change ammo.
 
* Get everything: Under the name of the container appears the 'Get everything' text label. Click on the label to get all items in the container f possible, until your inventory is full.
 
* Quick item move: Hold key (Default:Ctrl) to sell or move items when clicking on them while a showing an open container or shop.
 
* Quick toolbar change: Hold Ctrl, Shift or Alt while the inventory is closed to show the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rows of the inventory instead the 1st.
 
* Rotate slot: Hold a number and mouse wheel up/down to rotate the items in that column in the inventory.
 
* Stats screen: Accessed from the Pause menu, shows stats of everything that character has done.
 
* Map screen: Accessed with the map key (Default: TAB). Shows the explored map with a black fog of war covering the unexplored parts of the map.
 
* Quicksave: Either press the button bound to the 'quicksave' option (Default F6) or pause the game an choose 'Save' in the Pause menu. The current World will be saved in your computer without having to leave the game. Works also for multiplayer worlds, but in this case it makes a copy and you must Disconnect to visit your local copy of the world.

===Monsters===
 
 
====Sand Golem====
 
* Looks like a zombie, but it's completely sand-colored and can't jump as high as one.
 
* Zombie AI. (can open doors)
 
* Attacks in melee range.
 
* May drop golem cores.

====Burrowers====
 
New AI type.
 
:They dig as if they had a silver pickaxe, and 'store' what they dig inside their bellies. What they ate is stored inside of them like with chests. Killing one will make them release everything stored inside of them like a pinata.
 
:There would be a limited number of them in the map. You can easily hear their unique digging sound when they are digging nearby.
 
:They are all immune to all sources of damage excepting those that come from players. Falling great heights, lava or sand falling over them won't damage them. They can also walk in walls, and will try to get out of lava whenever they can (so their items are not lost if you kill them inside the lava).
 
:When all 20 item slots they can carry are used, but not all stacks are filled, they will only dig materials that would fill those stacks, and nothing else, so no block is 'lost' because of them digging something that will not be saved within them. If they don't see any of those materials, they walk around the tunnels they made.
 
:When all of their stacks are maxed, they stop digging, and they walk around the caves they dug.
 
:They have preference for heart crystals and gems, when they are withing 25 squares of one, they'll try to go directly there to eat them, digging anything on their path, although they won't be able to dig if their bellies are full.
 
*Underground: Dirt eater scarab.
 
*Caverns: Rock eater scarab.
 
*Desert: Sand eater scarab.
 
 
====Crawlers====
 
New AI type.
 
They can walk on walls and ceilings, and jump directly to the player when they have a direct path. They sometimes stay immobile in the dark until you get closer, and then jump at your face.
 
* Forest: Spiders. they can climb trees. They can hide inside the foliage and jump at those that are going to chop their tree, appearing out of nowhere.
 
* Desert: Scorpion. They hide under the sand.
 
* Ocean: Crab. They hide under the sand at the bottom.
 
* Underground: Cave spider.
 
* Caverns:
 
** Giant cave spider: from 2000 to the underworld.
 
** Spider matriarch (spawns small spiders, found as a boss in the spider den: an enormous cave undergroud, with 1..3 chests) and many spiders spawning. The first time you enter the spider den, may small spiders start spawning, when you kill 50, the spider matriarch appears. To summon it again, you must use an eggsack inside the den, crafted in an Altar with 50 webs, that would summon again the 50 small spiders to kill and summon the matriarch again.
 
** Baby spider: Spawned by the matriarch, with the matriarch boss summon item, and the first time one enter the spider's den.
 
* Corruption: Crawler. A creepy single-eyed creature, similar to the eater of souls, but smaller and with legs.
 
* Jungle: Mantis. Looks like leafy scenery, immobile, until you get closer.
 
* Dungeon: Creep. Looks like a skeleton skull with bony legs. They sometimes hide behind chests and pots.
 
* Underworld: Flame spider. Can survive inside lava. It usually waits inside the lava at the border of the water, waiting for you to get closer to throw you into the lava with the knockback damage.
 
 
All spiders may drop cobwebs. Some may also drop steelweb, a stronger version used for improved caster clothing.
 
 
====Egg====
 
New AI type.
 
This things look like an urn, but if one take a close look, they are pulsating. IF the player stays for too long near them, they hatch, releasing a monster:
 
* Underground, Caverns: Baby spider
 
* Corruption: Crawler hatchling.
 
 
====Bosses====
 
 
=====Slimezilla=====
 
* Health: 2000HP.
 
* Appearance: A massive multi-colored slime that constantly changes colors like the surface of a bubble with a a translucent green orb as its 'core'.
 
Summoning:
 
* Make a pit that is at least 15 tiles long asn 15 tiles deep, and no more that 20 tiles wide and 20 tiles deep, the walls must be made of glass.
 
* Wait for slime to appear, and kill them when they fall inside the pit.
 
* Slimes that die inside this giant glass bottle will turn into 'slime goo'. Any more slimes that die inside the the goo become slime goo too.
 
* Slime goo is a very dense acid that slows you down like Cobwebs, requires Breath like water, and damages like Lava (although it deals much less damage than lava).
 
* When there are 100 tiles worth of slime goo in the pit (each slime adds as much goo as its health/10), the goo starts to wriggle, and in the middle of it a 'core' forms, and explodes like dynamite, breaking the 'glass bottle' and surrounding materials.
 
* Behind the smoke and dust from the explossion appears Slimezilla.
 
Behavior:
 
* Slimezilla attacks mainly jumping around. It breaks dirt blocks and trees when it jumps around, and can pass through tiles when jumping up and sideways, so it's not possible to trap Slimezilla by making a 'jail' around the bottle. It will not go through tiles downwards, though.
 
* It heals itself by killing and stealing all the health from any other slimes it touches.
 
* When its health is under 50%, it will start attacking by shooting slimes. These slimes are separate entities, and once around, they will attack you, and slimezilla will be able to heal itself by eating them too.
 
* Whenever you hit Slimezilla, slimes pop out out of it.
 
* As it health goes down it size decreases, and it also increases in size when it recover health by eating other slimes.
 
* When it becomes as small as Pinky, one last hit will be enough to kill it.
 
Drops:
 
* Flamethrower - Uses canisters of gel as ammo.
 
* 'Leech' (spellbook) - Steals life from enemies.
 
* Pinky feed - Used to tame a Pinky. That pinky will become a resident of your own house, 'reserving it' for you, so no other NPCs use it.

*# Then players can put inside the dock several stacks of items that will determine the properties of the golem.

Gems would determine its IA, and mana crystals and hearts its maximum mana and health. The maximum number of stacks items that can go inside the dock is 20, like with chests.

** Touching dirt and mud tiles: turns dirt tiles into 'frozen dirt' and mud into 'frozen mud'. Nothing grows in frozen soil, and it takes longer to dig.

** Deep within the ruins, there's a chamber with bricks not even Dynamite can break. Inside that chamber there's a huge crystal protected by a massive golem boss that generates a magic field in the chamber and around the core, making impossible to dynamite the bricks or dig the core. Once the boss is defeated, the field if lifted, and it's possible to dig the walls and the core.

    Water Bolt

The Water Bolt is a magic spell found in the Dungeons of Terraria, hidden amongst the numerous books on the shelves within. When cast, it releases a blue, ricocheting projectile which looks very similar to the spells used by Dark Casters. Similar to the Flower of Fire, the bolt will bounce up to five times off of solid objects. However, unlike the Flower of Fire, Water Bolts are not affected by gravity, and will travel in straight lines and go through enemies until they dissipate.

The Water Bolt is slower, does less damage per hit, and costs more Mana to use than the Flower of Fire. On the flip side, it can hit enemies multiple times, potentially dealing more damage overall, and aiming a straight-moving Water Bolt is somewhat easier than predicting the arc of a bouncing ball of fire.

WaterBolt

A picture of a Water Bolt on a shelf in a dungeon.

Hovering the cursor over the book will show the water bolt book beside the cursor, Right clicking it will drop it. Once picked up it cannot be placed again. Water Bolt cannot be crafted, does not appear in Chests, and does not drop as loot from enemies.
