Skyware Lute

The Skyware Lute is a craftable Pre-Hardmode Bard weapon. It shoots a blue star projectile that ricochets off of tiles up to two times and pierces multiple enemies, but the projectile loses 25% of its current damage the more enemies it pierces. Upon ricocheting, it shoots out smaller blue stars in a small area around the impact zone that linger very briefly and further damage enemies. When used, it empowers nearby players and the user with the Defense II empowerment.
