Weapons & Equip Book of Chaos

[Sgt. Cookie]

Magic weapon

Type: Direct, Triple Shot
Damage: 20
Mana cost: 15
Dropped by: Tim (33%), Goblin Sorcerers (11.11%)

Yeah. Those Chaos Balls Goblin Sorcerers and Tim uses? Why can't WE use them? With all the other weapon drops, you'd think Chaos Balls would be a pretty obvious one. Or is that just me?

EDIT: Sprite added

EDIT2: Milt69466 created a far better sprite for Book of Chaos which is up now.

I think the drop chance should be higher. Especially on Tim.

He he he...

The chance should be a lot higher for Tim, and maybe lower for Goblin Sorcerers.
Also, why is it triple shot if the original spell shoots one ball?

I think it's because they tend to shoot about 3 before teleporting.

 

[Sgt. Cookie]

3.33% was a pretty standard drop chance for most magic weapons, so I went for that. I'd be open to suggestions, though.

Perhaps 11.11% for Sorcerers? It mimics their OWN chance to spawn in the army.

@Zimber: Goblin Sorcerers and Tim DO shoot three balls.

Thanks for pointing that out.
I think you should shoot just like they do, just a lot faster.

We dont have enough magic weapons

Support

I like this idea!

That's a little better. It's mostly Tim that has too low of a drop rate. It's a rare enemy and should honestly probably have a 30-60% drop rate.

 

[Sgt. Cookie]

33% Drop rate sound good to you?

Hue Hue Hue

Also, I completely support this. We need more pre-hardmode magic content

 

[Sharanga Duck]

We really do need more Magic Books. They're actually my favourite magic weapons.

We can't use them because they can go through walls, allowing safespotting.

We can't use them because they can go through walls, allowing safespotting.

Then we get rid of that part. Problem solved.

We make it so one of the three can noclip. Maybe after passing through a wall its damage is halfed

 

[Sgt. Cookie]

Perhaps it can travel through walls, but only for about 3-4 blocks before it dissipates?

 

[Sgt. Cookie]

Because of reasons I created a sprite for the BoC. It's in the OP.

 

[MiltVala]

I was bored, and I really like spriting tomes, so have this if you want it

 

[Dragrath]

Id say let it pass through walls but be destroyed upon hitting an enemy(to mimic it them being destroyed when hit)
I support this as I've always been annoyed we couldn't use their spell

That is a WHOLE lot better than my attempt. Thank you! Have my like!
