Vaporified Crystal
Aestheticus being used on a Target Dummy and a Super Dummy. Notice how the 4 crystals temporarily deal no damage before homing in, and crystals being able to home onto the same target.
The Aestheticus is a Pre-Hardmode classless weapon which automatically swings and deal damage in a similar manner to broadswords while firing homing crystals that get their damage multiplied by damage bonuses from all classes. When the crystal hits an enemy or after a few seconds, it splits into 4 crystals that damage and home into enemies after a short time, exploding on successful enemy hits. Both crystals inflict the Vaporfied debuff which deals 15 damage per second and reduces enemy movement speed by 10%.
The Aestheticus cannot be reforged, and therefore cannot have modifiers.
