Boomerangs in Terraria are fun to use, but can get pretty boring eventually for a few reason. Most of them are basically exactly the same, and the only unique ones only have homing or slightly different movement to differentiate them from other boomerangs. We have 5 (6 if you include Fruitcake Chakram) pre-boss boomerangs that function exactly the same with only stat differences, only two pre-mech boomerangs (both of which are extremely rare), one pre-Plantera boomerang that sucks and is probably the worst mech boss item, and a Golem drop as the last boomerang in the game, which doesn't sound too bad, but then you realize that it's horrible for the pillars and Moon Lord. Also, something called boomerang stacking does exist, but it's pretty much just throwing out more boomerangs at once for more damage.
This suggestion aims to add special effects to a variety of boomerangs to make them a lot more unique as well as buffing some boomerangs that are subpar. Green text means a buff, orange text means a change that doesn't directly affect the power of the weapon, such as a recipe change or a retier, and red text means a nerf. Let's begin.

Changes:
- Velocity increased to 8
- Knockback increased to 6
Changes:
- Enemies hit by the boomerang will release multicoloured sparks every half second for 10 seconds. The sparks create light and deal no damage
- Now requires 8 Gold or Platinum Bars as well as a Wooden Boomerang and a Fallen Star
Changes:
- Inflicts a new debuff called "Spore Infection" which lasts 5 seconds. Every time an inflicted enemy is hit, it releases spores that track down and damage other enemies nearby and deal 20% of the hit's damage
- Drop chance increased from 1% to 5%
- Can now drop from Spore Skeletons as well as Spore Bats
Changes:
- Upon striking a block or enemy, the boomerang shatters into several ice shards which behave like Crystal Serpent's secondary projectiles
- Damage reduced from 16 to 14
Changes:
- Now sprays harmless blood in all directions upon hitting an enemy
- Drop chance increased from 0.05% to 0.1%
- Can now drop from any enemy during Halloween instead of only from "weak" enemies
Changes:
- Now inflicts a DoT (damage over time) debuff that deals 3 DPS and stacks up to three times, similar to Daybreak's. When an enemy is inflicted with this DoT debuff, thorns appear to be sticking out of it.
- Damage reduced from 25 to 24
Changes:
- While in the air, the boomerang will drop a flame downwards every 0.5 seconds. The flames will act like Cursed Dart flames and will linger in place for 3 seconds after hitting a solid block.
- Now stays in place for a bit after hitting an enemy, similar to Combat Wrench
Changes:
- Now gives the user a version of the Plenty Satisfied buff for 5 seconds after being used. This version does the same thing as Plenty Satisfied but is a separate buff
- Drop chance increased from 3.33% to 50%
Changes:
- Velocity increased to 35
- Can now smart bounce towards enemies
- Damage increased from 57 to 60
- Can now only stack to 3
Changes:
- Inflicts a new debuff called "Possessed" on enemies the boomerang hits, which releases a yellow projectile called a Sun Spirit whenever that enemy is hit. Sun Spirits deal 33% of the hit's damage and behave like Spectre Mask projectiles
