I am Ortorin, and I approve this mod.

 

The Shadow Spike is a med-tier weapon crafted in the magic tab. Balancing the small damage increase over a Tentacle Spike with a sanity drain, this weapon's main purpose is to be a replacement for the Tentacle Spike when natural ones are hard to come by.

 

The recipe has been balanced to facilitate vanilla friendly use. While Hound's Teeth start to become rather abundant quickly, the Nightmare Fuel remains a low-quantity resource for some time. When you have the fuel to blow, the Dark Sword has greater damage and greater resource efficiency. When fuel is low or sanity management is an issue, the Shadow Spike gives a nice magic-based step-up in damage from the spear.

 

All-and-all, I would like to say that this is a vanilla-friendly mod. I hope you all enjoy.

 

Super-special-flying-rainbow-pop-tart-cat-thank-you to Blazingice26 for the coding and artwork for this mod.

Well, I hope I can help with more of your guys' mods in the future. I don't know coding, so I would prefer me doing concept art.

 

Edit: Also, for the friend wand thing, did you just mess up the name or is it the Friendship Wand mod?

I thought this was an upgrade from the default tentacle spike...Maybe you could add an extra recipe for upgrading a tentacle spike into s stronger version of this, seeing how this is an interesting alternative.

This is meant to be a weapon that's in between the tentacle spike and dark sword in damage,  for people who have outgrown the tentacle spike, but aren't quite resourceful enough to obtain and use a darksword

No problem, the game tends to do that to me a lot, once i was fixing some graphical errors and then the game just decided not to display them at all, and i pretty much freaked out, then my computer restarted, when i opened up DS again, everything was working fine.

lol, glad to hear Im not the only one then. I should probably take a look at some other mods that said they crashed then. haha

Umm... I don't want to rain down on you or anything, but unless I'm mistaken, the wiki put hambat at 59 damage. Everybody (including me) didn't notice the buff on hambat since nobody ever make them. I just found out today too.
I've never tested the exact damage, but today (Maxwell update) it's 2 hit on spiders and 6 (I think? Definitely much less than a spear/tentacle spike) on a werepig. And hambat is a lot easier to make.

So perhaps until the devs realised how OP they made the hambat, you'd want to increase the damage of the shadow spike? It's a hard number to choose though...
