Swirling

Swirling is a special enchantment for Maces and Spears. It turns the weapon into a short area attack which repeatedly damages everything around the user.

Enchanting recipe

Usage

Hold the enchanted Mace or Spear and press the Enchantment Hotkey, which is Left Alt by default. Swirling has a 0.4 second warmup followed by a 4 second attack.

During the attack, every living entity within 3.5 blocks takes 6.5 damage once every 4 ticks. The attack uses the custom vsq:swirled damage type and resets the targets normal damage immunity for each pulse. This allows every pulse to deal damage instead of only the first one.

Swirling does not distinguish between hostile mobs, passive mobs and other players. Anything living inside the radius can be hit, except for the user.

Penalties

Activating Swirling applies Slowness IV for 10 seconds and Weakness II for 6 seconds. Horizontal movement is also heavily reduced during the warmup.

The attack pauses if a weapon with Swirling is no longer held in either hand. Holding one again resumes the remaining duration.

Supported items

Swirling can be applied to Maces and every Spear material. It uses one Special slot.
