Mobile Magic Mirror is a bait?!?

Hi @afa1425, it looks like you accidentally triggered the bait/critters glitch.
Be careful when you are swapping items in your inventory. Always try to move an item to an empty spot in your inventory. If you need to move something to your hotbar, move the hotbar item to an empty spot, then move whatever you need to that empty hotbar spot.
That is also how items like your pickaxe and magic mirror can display that they suddenly have bait power, if you swap them with bait in the inventory.
This is a generic reproduction, it can also happen with other bait/fishing poles/tools/weapons/critters:
- In your inventory, swap your bait with your pickaxe
- Save and exit
- Open the same character (doesn't matter what world you go into). You'll notice that your pickaxe now displays a "bait power"
- In your inventory, swap the bait and pickaxe back
- Save and exit
- Open the same character (world doesn't matter)
- At this point with some tools or weapons, if you try to use it (swing it) the tool/weapon will be consumed, disappear, and the bait will fall on the ground. Not all combinations consume the tools/weapon.
How to get the "bait power" or "fishing power" OFF of an item that shouldn't have it:
- Move the item to an empty space in your inventory
- Save and exit
- When you open that character again, it should be fine.
- If it’s not, then put the item in a chest, close the chest, then open it and get your item again.
A fun one to try:
- In your inventory, swap a critter with a stack of blocks
- Save and exit
- Open the character
- Swap the critter and blocks back
- Save and exit
- Open the character
- Try to use the blocks in the air and you'll get critters falling

To avoid these glitches, don't swap anything with bait, fishing poles, or critters. Move your weapons and tools to empty spots in your inventory.
