Hexarang
Posted: Tue Aug 15, 2023 11:31 pm
A hex that mimics the functionality of the Pickarang from Quark. Requires Hexal.
Fires a projectile wisp which either breaks the block it hit or produces a safe explosion at the feet of the entity it hit, and then summons a cyclic wisp which returns to you and disappears. If the initial projectile hit a block, the cyclic wisp will drag any items it dropped along with it on its way back to you.
While it has very long range when returning single itemstacks, the wisp will of course consume media proportional to how many itemstacks it must carry, such that breaking a full chest only has an effective range of several blocks before the wisp will disappear and release its items. This can be mitigated by summoning the initial projectile wisp with more media, but I've chosen not to increase the number beyond 50 dust since this is already an impractically expensive vanity hex in most situations.
