Prismatic Blades

Joyeuse in use.

The Joyeuse is a craftable Hardmode magic weapon. On use, the player spawns 4 spinning prismatic blades that decelerate to a stop, before all charging down at a 30-degree angle. The blades will deal 40% of the original damage while spinning. The blades will embed themselves into any tiles they stab into before fading away, potentially damaging enemies that come into contact with them. The angle the blades travel is static and is not affected by the position of the cursor.

Its best modifier is Mythical.
