Weapons & Equip A new post WoF summon: the Dark Worm Staff (name is WIP)

[MoultonLava]

This is a summon dropped by Corrupt Mimics at a 16.67% chance (all other items now have this drop rate from the Mimic), and summons a mini EoW to fight for you. It can attack in 3 ways, cycling through them periodically. It can rapidly dash at foes, spin around them while firing nonpiercing Cursed Flames projectiles, and dig through the ground and air while shooting Vile Spit at the foe. It is similar to how the Stardust Dragon, Abigail, and Desert Tiger work, increasing the strength and length of the one minion. Stat time:
Damage: 26 (Summon)
KB: 0.75
Use time: 15
Inflicts Cursed Flames for 1.5 seconds (Head segment and Cursed Fireballs)
"The worms have had enough!"

Note: I made this idea on a different thread by @TheGuideIsEvil , but this is fully fleshed out, unlike the simple idea on that thread.

The thing with Summons is there's no point in them having multiple attacks (unless they do them simultaneously like Tempest.) Bosses do it so the player has more stuff to dodge. Summons don't have to worry about enemies intentionally dodging, so more attacks are pointless.

Other than that, I like it! There'd need to be a Crimson one too, though.

Multiple attacks don't really work .
That's kinda a problem with the Staff of the Mechworm.
It's cool yet inefficient because of it's chunky dps.

This suggestion was actually partially inspired from a suggestion made by @terr4r1a (I think). Basically, he suggested a Crimson brain staff. I suggested it would drop from Crimson Mimics, and there would need to be a Corrupt varient. So Moultonlava replied to my post with basically this suggestion

Anyway, support!
