The Tome of Infinite Wisdom in use.

The Tome of Infinite Wisdom is a Hardmode, post-one mechanical boss wand that possesses two different modes of attack. When used with ⚒ Use / Attack, it fires bursts of four high-velocity pages that dissipate upon contact with enemies or blocks. When used with ⚷ Open / Activate, it summons a large, high-velocity tornado that deals 175% of the weapon's damage (63 damage), pierces infinite enemies, travels along blocks and through one-block low roofs, and dissipates after a duration of four seconds or upon being stopped by a wall of solid blocks. The Tome of Infinite Wisdom is dropped by Ogres during the Old One's Army event, with a 1/10 (10%) / 1/5 (20%) chance during Tier 2, and a 1/20 (5%) chance during Tier 3.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

  • The tornado projectile applies -1 tick[1] of local invincibility frames upon hit, which means it cannot damage the same target more than once.[2]
  • The tornado projectile is 13.125 tiles tall and 3.75 tiles wide.[2]

Tips

  • The primary attack is highly effective against single enemies, while the secondary attack is effective for clearing out multiple targets, including the Old One's Army event.
  • Its secondary attack is great for clearing out vegetation in the evil biomes and Jungle, helping with flower collection or finding Life Fruit.
  • This weapon can defeat The Destroyer with ease, even in Master Mode. However, it requires that The Twins or Skeletron Prime be defeated first.
