The Cursed Thorn Bow in use.

The Cursed Thorn Bow is a pre-Hardmode bow dropped by Thorn, Bane of the Forest. It replaces Wooden Arrows with Thorn Arrows that summon a gravity-affected Thorn Seed whenever they collide with a block or enemy. Upon hitting a tile, Thorn Seeds sprout into Thorn Traps, which rapidly deal 50% of the weapon's damage.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
