Cryo Pillar

Cryo Pillar Shards

The Rimehowl is a craftable Pre-Hardmode broadsword. On use, it starts out with an overhead swing following with a downward swing. It will then swing overhead again but will unleash a short-lingering cryo pillar wall that pierces infinitely. If the player is on the ground, it will fire a cryo pillar wall, if the player is in midair, it will fire cryo pillar shards instead. The sword has a chance to inflict the Cryo Crush debuff while the walls and shards always inflicts the debuff.

The speed of the cryo walls and shards travel can vary depending on the cursor position, meaning they will travel further if the sword is swung on the left or right side of the cursor's position. However, if the sword is swung above or below the cursor's position, they will either move slower or not move at all. Though the sword will always swing in the same position regardless of cursor position.

Its best modifier is Godly. It cannot get modifiers that affect size.
