Terraria: How the Shadowbeam Staff works… in slow-motion

Terraria: How the Shadowbeam Staff works… in slow-motion

Have you ever wondered how the  Shadowbeam Staff actually works?  Well, here’s it in 100x  slow motion. In this state,   it’s just a normal glowy ball bouncing around. This is because Shadowbeams are actually just   regular bouncing projectiles, except sped  up a lot. They have a special property  

That makes them update 101 times  per tick or frame instead of once,   effectively making the beam travel at 100x  speed relative to the rest of Terraria.  This makes the ball projectile act like a beam as  it traces out its entire path in a near-instant,  

And the glowy dust this ball leaves behind  is what we see as the “shadow beam”.
