The Magnet Sphere attacking Mimics.

The Magnet Sphere is a Hardmode, post-Plantera spell book that has a 1/300 (0.33%) / 599/90000 (0.67%) chance of being dropped by Blue Armored Bones, Rusty Armored Bones, and Hell Armored Bones in the Hardmode Dungeon. When used, it fires a slow-moving cyan sphere that rapidly fires instantaneous, non-piercing beams at the closest enemy as it travels. It can pass through blocks and (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) can bounce off tiles. The sphere dissipates after 15 (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) / 11 (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) seconds have passed, it has traveled 52 tiles, or when another sphere is fired.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but the only stats that improve damage output are damage and critical chance. Switching to a different magic weapon causes existing projectiles to use that weapon's critical chance instead, meaning that the Magnet Sphere's DPS is optimized with the Ruthless modifier when used in the intended way.

Notes

  • The sphere is not slowed down in liquids.
  • The sphere fires projectiles at a rate equal to a use time of 9 (Very fast).
  • The sphere can move farther when it has a speed-reducing modifier.
  • Like homing weapons, the Magnet Sphere's orb will not fire at other players in PvP.
  • The visual book that the player holds out while using the weapon can damage certain entities, including several not normally targeted by a regular weapon.
  • The Magnet Sphere's orb will fire at disguised Mimics.
