The Charm of Myths is a Hardmode accessory which combines the effects of the Band of Regeneration and the Philosopher's Stone. When equipped, it regenerates 1 health every second and decreases the Potion Sickness debuff duration by 25%. This debuff normally imposes a 60-second cooldown after consuming a recovery potion; the Charm of Myths reduces it to 45 seconds.

Notes

  • The Charm of Myths decreases the duration of Potion Sickness while it is equipped. Equipping it while Potion Sickness is already in effect will proportionally decrease the remaining duration, and unequipping it while Potion Sickness is in effect will proportionally increase the remaining duration.[1]
    • For example, if the player lets half of the normal 60 seconds of Potion Sickness run out and then equips the Charm of Myths, the item will decrease the remaining 30 seconds by 25% to 22.5 seconds.
    • If the player consumes a recovery potion while the Charm of Myths is equipped, lets 25 of the 45 seconds of Potion Sickness run out, and then unequips it, the remaining 20 seconds will be increased by 33.33%[a] to 26.67 seconds.
    • If the player consumes a recovery potion while the Charm of Myths is equipped and then immediately unequips it, the 45 seconds of Potion Sickness will be increased by 33.33% to 60 seconds, i.e. the normal duration.
  • The reduction effect also works if the regular cooldown is not 60 seconds, such as after consuming a Mushroom (30 seconds, decreased to 22.5 seconds), a Restoration Potion (45 seconds, decreased to 33.75 seconds), or a Strange Brew (up to 70 seconds, decreased to up to 52.5 seconds).
  • The Charm of Myths' duration reduction effect does not stack with the Philosopher's Stone's.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4: Potion Sickness reduction is no longer "front-loaded" at the time of using the potion. Instead, the cooldown is dynamically updated whenever the accessory is equipped. Equipping it will reduce the remaining cooldown proportionally, and removing it will increase the remaining cooldown proportionally.
  • Desktop 1.4.1: Increased healing gain from 0.5 HP per second to 1 HP per second.

  1. Equipping the Charm of Myths decreases the duration by 25%, i.e. multiplies it with 0.75. The inverse operation (unequipping the Charm of Myths) is dividing the duration by 0.75, A division by 0.75 is the same as a multiplication with 1.3333, i.e. a 33.33% increase.
