The Dark Caster is a pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Dungeon. They follow the Caster AI, firing three Water Sphere projectiles before teleporting to another on-screen location. Water Spheres travel through walls but can be destroyed with a single hit from any weapon.

Notes

The Water Sphere's damage receives a massive increase in Expert Mode(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) during Hardmode, dealing over 100 damage to endgame characters.

Tips

The Water Spheres reveal the map as they travel, even while traveling through solid blocks. Therefore, Dark Casters can be used to map areas just outside the dungeon walls.
Just like with other caster enemies, hitting a Dark Caster even once while it is attacking will prevent it from attacking before it teleports to a different location.
Water Spheres look nearly identical to the Water Bolt spell. Be careful when using the Water Bolt in the Dungeon, in case the two are mixed up.
- Water Spheres can pass through blocks, while the Water Bolt projectiles cannot. If it passes through blocks, it is a hostile projectile.

Trivia

The Dark Caster is almost identical with Tim, except for the Wizard Hat.
If the player equips the Skull and the Robe, they will strongly resemble the Dark Caster.

The Bestiary entry for the Dark Caster: "Doomed to watch over the Dungeon, these mages teleport to confuse their prey, before striking them down with a blast of water."
