The Thorn Blossom is a Hardmode wand that drops from the Lunatic Cultist. It is the rare variant of the Arch Amaryllis. When used it behaves similarly to the Arch Amaryllis, firing a pink flower that pierces enemies and slows down horizontally more quickly than it does vertically, causing it to travel in an upwards or downwards curve depending on the direction it's fired. After two seconds, or upon hitting a block, the main projectile splits into six homing petals. The petals last two seconds before fading away, and deal 75% of the main damage. Additionally, it fires three lingering infinitely-piercing thorn vines, similar to the Nettle Burst's vines, in a randomized spread. Every time the Thorn Blossom is fired, the player will lose 5 HP.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Trivia

• The tooltip is likely a reference to the power ballad, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", by the American glam metal band Poison.
• If the player is killed by the Thorn Blossom's self-damage, the death message "<PlayerName> was violently pricked by a flower." will display.
