Corruption bookbinding and cursed inferno fireballs
Assembled at a Bookcase using 1 Spell Tome, 20 Cursed Flame, and 15 Soul of Night. This Corruption magic tome launches bouncing green fireballs for 9 mana per cast. Each projectile hits for 55 base magic damage and 6.5 knockback at a Very fast rate, ricocheting off surfaces up to four times, piercing multiple targets, and inflicting the Cursed Inferno debuff.
Persistent debuff burn and boss crowd control
Cursed Flames acts as the Corruption equivalent to the Crimson Golden Shower. While it lacks Ichor defense reduction, it compensates with higher base damage and the Cursed Inferno debuff, which inflicts 24 damage per second and cannot be put out by water. Its ricocheting fireballs excel in subterranean battles and against worm bosses like The Destroyer. Mages should reforge it to the Mythical modifier to maximize critical rate and velocity.
Trivia
- The Cursed Inferno debuff continues to damage targets even when they are fully submerged in water or honey.
- Each green fireball ricochets off blocks up to four times or pierces four enemies before finally dissipating.
