Elemental Crystal
The Crystallized Knowledge is a craftable Hardmode accessory. When equipped, hitting enemies has a 25% chance to spawn a Crystal of the weapon's Element that will circle around the player. The first spawned crystal will always be inside the player, constantly sticking to them. If the weapon or a projectile possess multiple elements, then only their first element will be chosen, based on their ID (which is reflected in the item's tooltip). Crystals can't be formed from Explosive, Slash, Axe or Hammer Elements or if the weapon doesn't possess any Elements. A maximum of 6 crystals can exist at a time.
Each crystal deals 40 damage, inheriting the original weapon's Elemental bonus. Additionally, the player gains 4% Elemental damage and resistance per crystal of the respective element. Getting hit will result in all crystals flying off in random directions, with the player losing the buffs they provided.
