ball wand

A crude projectile wand that spits out a bouncing blue ball. It is not a fake spell effect or a harmless toy: the shot is a real physics body, and each cast spends 1 durability.

Its damage is tied directly to impact speed. Slow contact does nothing, while faster collisions hit harder, add strong knockback, and can trigger bleed on targets that support bleeding. In code the ball starts dealing damage only once it is moving above a minimum velocity threshold, then scales upward from there instead of using a flat wand damage value.

The strangest trick is the parry. You can apply extra knockback to the projectile for extra damage, If you aim at it and strike with LMB. On a normal achievement-enabled save, simply using the wand also satisfies the Ball Wand condition.
