The Ancient Shadow Enchantment is a craftable Hardmode accessory that is themed after Ancient Shadow armor. When equipped, it summons three shadow orbs that orbit the player. If one of the shadow orbs are hit by a player projectile, a spurt of 10 homing shadow energy is released which will attack nearby enemies. Homing shadow energies have a base damage of 50 which scales with the highest class damage increase. Attacks have 20% chance to inflict the Darkness debuff. Debuffed enemies fire shadowflame tentacles at other nearby enemies, dealing 40 damage and inflicting Shadowflame.

Equipping it alongside the Wizard Enchantment will increases the amount of shadow orbs that can be present to 4.

Notes

• Shadow orbs can only be broken by the player who they are orbiting around. Additionally, they cannot be broken by minion or sentries.
• While the Ancient Shadow Enchantment has a rarity of 5, it does not use the standard pink color for its item name. Instead, it uses a custom color (#5E55DC ●).

Trivia

• The symbol on the Ancient Shadow Enchantment resembles a smashed Shadow Orb, similar to the "Smashing, Poppet!" achievement icon.
