Accursed Blade
The Accursed Blade is a Pre-Hardmode broadsword that is found in Sepulchre Chests with a 1/2 (50%) chance. It has no special effect when swung, but if it kills an enemy, it causes that enemy to drop an Accursed Soul. When an Accursed Soul is picked up, it will not go into the player's inventory, but will instead add a charge to the blade. After collecting at least one charge, the player can fire an Accursed Bolt with the ⚷ Open / Activate key.
The Accursed Bolt lasts for 2.25 seconds. It fades out very quickly (0.21 seconds) after striking its second enemy but can hit up to 4 enemies if the last 3 are clustered very close together. The damage it does is equal to 30 times the amount of the charges the player has, up to a maximum of 5.
Its best modifier is Legendary.
