Charon's Beacon

Charon's Beacon is a Hardmode magic weapon that is dropped by the Mourning Wood during the Pumpkin Moon event. On use, it rapidly releases 5 flaming projectiles that, after a short delay, home towards the nearest enemy. The fireballs inflict the Melting debuff on hit. While held out, the area around the player will be illuminated.
