The Cursed Flames attacking Target Dummies.

The Cursed Flames is a Hardmode spell book that fires gravity-affected bouncing green fireballs. The fireballs can bounce off blocks four times and pierce enemies once, and they inflict the Cursed Inferno debuff for 7 seconds on hit, dealing 24 damage per second.

The Cursed Flames is the Corruption counterpart to the Crimson's Golden Shower and the Hallow's Crystal Storm, all of which require a Spell Tome and ingredients exclusive to their underground biome counterparts.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Tips

• The Cursed Flame's fireballs are also highly luminous and can travel through water without slowing down, making them useful for cave exploration.
• The Cursed Flames's ricocheting, combined with its piercing ability, means that it is possible to hit an enemy twice by bouncing the projectile into an enemy that has been hit before.

Trivia

• The weapon functions very similarly to the Flower of Frost.
• The Cursed Flames' fireballs resemble the same fireball projectiles used by Clingers and Spazmatism's first form.
