Poisoned Knife

This is what you make once you have spare powder from the evil biome. It flies like the plain knife but holds down the attack for you, carries through a second body, and poisons roughly half of what it touches. Early on, poison ticking away on a pack of enemies while you retreat is worth more than the number on the knife itself.

Old versions let you scoop your knives off the ground after a fight. That is gone, so every throw is spent for good. Craft in bulk before you leave home, because the usual way this weapon disappoints is running dry halfway through a cave while the powder sits in a chest back at base.

Breaking them down in shimmer returns whichever powder your world evil produces, not necessarily the one you built them with. On a drunk world the evil flips daily, so check what you are getting back before you tip a full stack in.
