The Etherium Blood-Bolt



The Etherium Blood-Bolt is special crossbow that can be bought from the Nether Shop. Once fired, it will sap a small amount of health from the user to fire an infinitely-piercing magical bolt, which only stops once it either reaches a certain range(~80 blocks), or hits a solid block.

The damage dealt to the user cannot be reduced by armor, but may be reduced by the Protection enchantment and the Resistance status effect. It is possible to be killed by the health-sapping effect of The Etherium Blood-Bolt.

Effect
Enemies hit by the magical bolt suffer 1 damage from wither, 5 damage that cannot be reduced by any means, and become crippled - suffering a permanent 5% decrease to their Movement Speed, Knockback Resistance, Base Attack Damage(if any), and Base Armor(if any). The 5% decrease is multiplicative and based on the value of the stat when they are hit by the bolt.

Despite what the tooltip says, the cripple effect on enemies does not only last for a few seconds, it is permanent.
