Spell modifiers that cause projectiles to throw out duplicates of themselves.

Downwards Larpa is a projectile modifier that causes affected projectiles to fire duplicates of itself downwards as it moves. The rate of fire is on a set timer, so faster projectiles will space them further apart than slow ones.

Copies will be launched at much higher speed than the original. They also don't contain any spell modifiers the original spell has.

Tips

• This spell limits the lifetime of a projectile it modifies to a maximum of 300 frames or 5 seconds. Only the initial projectile gets limited lifetime, copies are unaffected.
• Use with powerful but slow projectiles for best effect
• Causes a lot of damage when used with Magic Missile or other explosive spells.
• Synergizes well with Healing Bolt as it allows for shooting multiple heals towards yourself at the cost of one use.

Trivia

• Larpa is a reference to Liero, a 1998 Finnish MS-DOS game that has been cited as inspiration for Noita. In Liero, Larpa is a projectile weapon that shoots a missile that then drops bullets as it travels through the air. Wikipedia says of Liero, "The game has been described as a real-time version of Worms […]"
