Sand-sculpted greaves and arcane minion scaling
Crafted from 16 Adamantite Bar or Titanium Bar ingots and 1 Forbidden Fragment at a hardmode anvil, Forbidden Treads supplies 8 defense. It expands maximum mana by 40, increases magic damage by 10%, and grants 1 additional minion slot. Acquiring the fragment involves weathering desert sandstorms to defeat a Sand Elemental, rewarding hybrid mages with dual-discipline scaling across both magic and summon paths before mechanical confrontations.
Whirlwind control and hybrid caster synergy
When worn alongside Forbidden Robes and Forbidden Mask, these treads activate the Forbidden Sign set bonus. Players can double-tap down to conjure a spinning sandstorm at their cursor position for 20 mana. This whirlwind controls enemy swarms and deals persistent damage, synergizing with simultaneous magic attacks and minion pressure against mechanical bosses and chaotic invasion events throughout hardmode progression.
