Magic Fireball

The Magic Fireball was a spell sold by the Crone. In later versions of the game it was removed.

Attack details
The Magic Fireball can in many ways be considered an upgrade to the Magic Knife. It too is thrown in a straight line until it hits either an enemy or an obstacle. Though unlike its more mundane counterpart when it hits something it explodes into 8 smaller fireball projectiles each dealing some minor damage, making it useful for taking out a lot of the smaller enemies in the game. Adding to this the main projectile itself inflicts a burning effect on the hit enemy dealing further damage. It does though have one notable weakness in the form of the fire damage it inflicts, as catterpillars are immune to the fire damage it deals. Certain other enemies on another hand are weak to fire, such as dire rats and ice slimes.
