The Poseidon typhoons homing in, ricocheting off blocks, and lingering on a Super Dummy.
The Poseidon is a Hardmode spell tome that drops from the Giant Clam mini boss. It shoots a circular Poseidon typhoon sigil that homes in on enemies and lingers on top of them for a short duration, repeatedly dealing damage until it dissipates. Each Poseidon typhoon will pierce 3 to 8 times. Poseidon typhoons will also rebound off of blocks 9 times before disappearing.
Its best modifier is Mythical.
