The Pocket Guardian is a craftable Hardmode Healer spell that rapidly heals a selected "pocket" player. Right-clicking on an ally using the spell will select them as the casting player's pocket. Left clicking with the spell will rapidly shoot erratic streams of energy, which will home in on and heal the selected pocket.

Like all healing items, it benefits from any additional healing effects and cannot receive a Modifier.

Notes

• While the Pocket Guardian is held by the player, a backpack will appear on the player's back.
• The energy streams this spell shoots are not capable of healing allies apart from the pocketed one.

Trivia

• This item, as well the pocketing mechanic, is a reference to the Medi Gun from the video game Team Fortress 2. "Pocketing" is a term coined by the game's community to refer to a Medic who focuses healing on just one target.
