Leeching Dagger

The Leeching Dagger is a craftable Pre-Hardmode shortsword that is also dropped by The Hive Mind. Upon killing an enemy with it, it will release leech orbs that home in on other enemies, and upon impact, heal the player for 5 life. It functions identically to the Bloody Rupture.

Like every shortsword, it has an incredibly short range, but unlike others, it swings automatically.
