User blog:Zofran4/Runes-Summoning Weapons

I'm not going to write an elaborate blog post right now so I'll just get to the point. I think summoning is underrated in Terraria. Scyther had a similar blog post to this that gave me this idea.

I thought of a new type of summoning weapon called Runes. They would be able to quickly spawn a couple of minions at a time and can be used more like a ranged weapon than anything. But the downside is that the minions have a travel rime, are weak, and have health. They also (obviously) cost mana.

Runes are meant to let summoner classes able to fight, instead of letting minions do all of the work. Rune sprites probably won't have too much of a dark outline and will be made up of shapes and lines. If anyone has any ideas, comments, questions, or concerns. Please tell me in the comments.

Thank you.
