Notes

• Astral Injections may also be obtained from Astral Crates once Astrum Aureus has been defeated.
• This item essentially acts as a mana potion that restores 540 Mana, which is superior to Supreme Mana Potions later in the game. However, they are not automatically consumed by the Mana Flower or Ethereal Talisman and are arguably harder to obtain en masse.

Trivia

• This item’s name is a pun based on the Astral Infection biome.
