The Blood Thorn attacking Target Dummies. Note its wall piercing abilities.

The Blood Thorn is a Hardmode magic weapon that has a 12.5*1/8 (12.5%) chance of being dropped by the Hemogoblin Shark. When used, it summons penetrating Blood Thorn projectiles.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

Blood Thorn projectiles spawn from random solid blocks or platforms in a circle around the cursor. If a solid block obstructs line of sight between the player and the cursor, then projectiles are instead summoned from a circle around the obstruction point, facing the cursor.
If no solid blocks or platforms are in the thorn spawning circle, then thorns will instead spawn from a circle around the player.
If there are zero valid blocks for summoning thorns (i.e. the player is both in midair and targeting a point in midair) then thorns will be summoned from the player's hitbox.
Projectiles cannot be summoned from background blocks and actuated blocks.

Tips

The Ice Blocks summoned by the Ice Rod can serve as roots for the Blood Thorns.
