Whoa! Looks like it's a suggestion, better at least try to think this one through.
Whoa, (Ok, no more whoas, that's getting old.) a boss called Gemisis, I wonder what this is?
Why, it's a Boss you summon by finding a load of gems and mashing them together to make an item you hold up in front of you and then the item disappears!
I didn't know that, thanks for the helpful tips other me!
No problem original version of me!
Anyways, yeah, Gemisis is basically a late pre-hardmode boss, and I'll go over a load of stuff in this. I appreciate all feedback, and any suggestions to improve this, as there's pretty much always room for improvement.

You can craft the Evil Gemspark Flag at a Hellforge to summon Gemisis, for which the crafting recipe is:
1 Amethyst, 1 Topaz, 1 Sapphire, 1 Emerald, 1 Ruby, 1 Diamond, 2 Iron Bars, 4 Silk, 5 Hellstone Bars
Thought I'd make it cheap (gem-wise) so you didn't have to mine-grind too much (booooring).
You can fight Gemisis at night or day, so no time restrictions. There's no real biome restriction either, but I'll get to that later.
Even though Gemisis has no imapct on the actual progression of the game, fighting it before you face the WoF might be a good idea, considering its drop table is pretty handy.

First Form:
At max health, which is 6000, Gemisis has a defense of 10, and a melee damage of 25. It's attack pattern is to charge once like an enchanted sword (without the whole spinning buisness), then hover slightly above the player as it...
...Shoots Amethyst, Ruby and Topaz gems in a spread of 3, similar to the shotgun, each gem doing 20 damage, and do so every second for 5 seconds. (Changes back and forth between each of the three gems as in appearance.)
...Creates a Shield of Sapphires around itself and starts chasing after the player like a demon eye for 10 seconds, and the shield will do 35 damage on contact.
...Shoots homing Emeralds towards the player, every half of a second for 5 seconds, dealing 15 damage, moving about as fast as a player without any movement speed upgrades, or, an alternate example could be a newly spawned player.
...Spawns 5 little flying Diamond minions called "Deadly Diamonds", each with a max health of 25 and 0 defense, with a Flying AI (Similar to hornets), dealing 17 damage on contact, and inflicting you with the slowness debuff for 3 seconds. Meanwhile Gemisis rapidly flies in large circles around the player, making it tougher to combat the Diamonds. Gemisis will continue flying around the player until all the diamonds have been defeated.
Second Form:
After Gemisis enter it's second form (at 3000 health), things start to get worse. It's attacks get a whole lot stronger... or more confusing, and it gets more defense (16) to top it off.
The attack pattern now is that Gemisis will charge twice at the player while spinning, increasing the melee damage to 35, and all the first form attacks get buffed:
Rage Mode:
When Gemisis goes under 500 health, it goes in to rage mode, where it constantly charges at players while rapidly shooting random gems that do 23 damage, basically a Phoenix Blaster but then with gems.

The attack pattern now is that Gemisis will charge twice at the player while spinning, increasing the melee damage to 35, and all the first form attacks get buffed:
- The Amethysts do 25 damage, The Rubies travel slightly faster and the Topazes bounce once.
- Instead of moving like a demon eye while having the Sapphire shield, Gemisis now moves like the Prime Vice used by Skeletron Prime.
- Emeralds now get shot out for 10 seconds.
- Deadly Diamonds now come in groups of ten, do 20 damage and inflict slowness for 5 seconds.
Rage Mode:
When Gemisis goes under 500 health, it goes in to rage mode, where it constantly charges at players while rapidly shooting random gems that do 23 damage, basically a Phoenix Blaster but then with gems.
When you summon Gemisis in the Corruption, it's health goes up to 7000 and it's defense goes up to 20 in the first form, making it slightly more defensive in the first form than the second. Despite Gemisis having more health, it will still transform into it's second form at 3000 health and Rage mode at 500 health.
Corrupted Gemisis:
If you summon Gemisis in the Crimson, Rage Mode starts at 1000 health and all of it's attacks inflict Ichor for 2 seconds. Yes, I am aware Ichor is a hardmode debuff. 2 seconds is not a lot though, and Crimson mobs are supposed to do all the damage.
Bloody Gemisis:
Despite these alternatives being harder, they give drops to improve quite a few things.
I should also note that when Gemisis is summoned when that player is in a Purity Biome and goes over to a Corruption/Crimson biome, it will not go become it's Corruption/Crimson alternative, and vice versa. This is to prevent easy loot farming by going to the Corruption/Crimson when it has low health, and people getting annoyed that they accidentally went away from the Corruption/Crimson and not getting what they wanted to get.

Lots of the credits to @TerrariaFanSpriter for all the sprites, and I guess to me for coming up with the idea? And pretty much everyone who helped me improve I guess... I'm not good at credits, am I? Well, who cares. Credit all over the place.
