Weapons & Equip The Goblet of Oil - Magic weapon

[BluuMoon3]

How to obtain: You would obtain this item from the dungeon after Skeletron is defeated.

Function - When thrown, the Goblet of Oil will shatter and spread an oil onto surfaces that will stick to any enemies that were hit or splashed. This will inflict the oiled! debuff, but modified. The oil will be ignited by any fire related magic weapons. Instead of adding an extra 25 damage per second (like the normal oil debuff), it will add an extra 25 percent of the igniting weapon's magic damage per second. The oil itself will last for 30 seconds. The oil can even burn on the surface of water or lava. The weapon itself doesn't do any damage but serves to compliment fire based magic weapons.

Clever idea. I like magic weapons that make you do something a little different.

This is basically 25% increased DPS that is easy to use and has no drawback

But It basically only affects Inferno Fork and Heat Ray, the former needs more a non-dps buff and the latter is perfectly fine in its current state

You could make it when they get oiled then you use a attack that involves fire the oil is on fire and it is like those sticky fire bombs that are a war crime

Heat ray doesn't actually inflict a fire-based debuff (despite the name), so it probably wouldn't be applicable with this. If it worked on heat ray it would probably have to work with other laser based weapons, which might be a little much.

It's also a pre-hardmode item, so it would affect flamelash (which is fine in its current state) and flower of fire (which probably appreciates this)

Oiled also affects cursed inferno, frostburn/bite and shadowflame, so it's safe to say that this would affect those weapons too. That adds frost staff and flower of frost, which probably appreciate the dps bump; shadowflame hex doll, which would become more usable in normal play but likely be a monster at speedkilling; and the cursed flames spell tome, which does not need a buff.

Overall I'm not too big on this weapon idea since you'd need to keep this thing in mind when balancing all other fire-related magic weapons.

I want more conditional damage bonuses like this, I think it makes the game loads more interesting when considering what weapons and equipment to use. Full support!
