Astral Fang

The Astral Fang is a Hardmode broadsword that is dropped by the Lunatic Cultist.

While empowered, its power will increase by 75%, bringing the base damage of the sword from 120 to 210, and it will gain additional effects based on whether it was empowered during the day or the night. These effects will last until the time of day changes.
