Mythril Hood

Weaving the mythril spellcaster cowl

Spun at an anvil station using 10 Mythril Bar ingots, this hood grants 3 defense, 15% increased magic damage, and expands the wearer's maximum mana pool by 60 points. It provides sorcerers with the reservoir needed to cast demanding spells shortly after initiating Hardmode, easing mana depletion during intense subterranean clashes with armored enemies.

Mana cost reduction for sustained spellcasting

Assembling the complete set with Mythril Chainmail and Mythril Greaves activates a set bonus reducing mana consumption by 17%. This efficiency allows mages to continuously fire spells like the Crystal Storm or Sky Fracture without triggering frequent mana sickness debuffs from chugging mana potions. It serves as a practical alternative to Orichalcum when seeking sustained casting endurance rather than petal bursts.

Trivia

• The hood grants 60 extra maximum mana, which displays as 3 additional mana stars on the interface.
• At 3 defense, it offers the lowest individual armor rating among all mythril headwear options.
