Blocks & Decoration Advanced wiring and other cool blocks

Ahh... Terraria has so much adventure map potential! (Deapite its lack of a Creative Mode, of course.) Nonetheless, there are still some things I have wanted to place in my unfinished maps that cannot be made as the game is now. Which is why I have some suggestions!

-Fan Blocks: These blocks have an effect much like the Mighty Wind debuff during a Sandstorm. When placed, a Fan will blow a gale that pushes most entities in a specified direction (8 possible directions, which can be changed via hammer). There are 3 levels of wind, which can be changed on righr-click: level 1 gives a small push and can be ran against, level 2 is a bit more powerful and requires some form of speed modifier to run against, and level 3 is so powerful only the Mechanical Cart or similarly fast entity can move against its gust. Fans can be turned on and off with wires, and their gust travels for up to 100 blocks. Fans are bought from a post-Golem steampunker.

-Invisinator: Obtained from the Mechanic during Hardmode, the Invisinator functions much like an Actuator. However, instead of making blocks physically transparent, it simply makes blocks invisible. The blocks are still solid, but can also be toggled off using an Actuator. This makes for a perfect troll maze building tool, a good way to hide a fan and make that Wind Temple look prettier, or simply for aesthetic purposes.

-Magic Water Pump: Crafted with Outlet Pumps at a Crystal Ball, this will create water that infinitely replicates until it has filled its container. There are versions for every liquid!

-Magic Water Drain: Crafted with Inlet Pumps at a Crystal Ball, this will remove water until there is no water for it to remove. There are versions for every liquid as well, not to mention a Magic Liquid Drain that drains all liquid reguardless of type.

-While we're at it, introducing the Blast Block. When triggersd either by dank memes or by wire, it will explode. While this explosion is even larger than Explosives, it does not destroy blocks, making it perfect for traps. This tricky block will actually replace the standard Explosive trap found underground (though Explosive Traps will still rarely generate alongside this new trap.)

-Shot Blocks. If Ammo is placed in one, it will "fire" the ammo when wired. Certain other projectile weapons can be placed in there as well, as long as they do not deal Summon damage. Additionally, one can place a Boulder in there.

-Magic Shot Blocks. These are obtained by crafting a Shot Block with Luminite. If a consumable item is placed within, it will never be "used up" but will instead consume the item instantly and copy its data to fire an infinite number of duplicates.

-Frame Detector. This wire trigger will activate once every <insert frame number here.> By typing in a number of frames, one can create special Fetid Bagnachs (Yup, probably spelled thaf wrong) speedy mechanisms!

-Frame Delayer. This actuator-like component will delay any wire signal by <insert frame number here.> This can be used for cool Blast Block shennanigans or simply for fun.

-Hallowed Altar. Crafted with Hallowed Bars at a Mythril Anvil, this furniture item does everyhing a Demon Altar can (and more, as it can now craft the True swords: True Excalibur, True Night's Edge, and The Terra Blade.) Smashing it with a hammer does not destroy it permanently, nor does it "bless" your world with a hard-to-find block of Ebonstone in the edge of your Jungle (or, for that matter, change any other block in any way, shape, or form.) This provides relief to those who accidentally smashes every Demon Altar in their world.

-Pedestal: a rather large 5x5 furniture item. Stretching 2 blocks into the sky, one may wonder what the extra 3 blocks in height are for. Item placement, of course! This could look really cool in an adventure map. It is crafted with 5 Marble, 5 Granite, and 15 Stone.

-Not a block, but Troll Mask: a vanity item worn on the head. Only for the most seasoned trolls. It has a 1% chance to drop from a player killed by a trap. I repeat, only the most epic trolls are worthy of this mask and nobody else deserves it. In addition, the mask only drops if the lethal trap was placed by a different player.

-On the same note, the Blank Face: a vanity item that is sold by the Clothier during a Solar Eclipse. The face makes one look like Slenderman, and if worn with the Tuxedo set, shadowy tentacles come out of the player's back; these shades are not overriden by wings or similar accessories.

-New achivement: Professional Troll, obtained by killing 10 different players with Traps.
