Mod of Redemption/Infected Thornshield

The Infected Thornshield is a crafted, Expert Mode exclusive. When equipped, it increases the player's druidic critical strike chance by 14% and lowers defense by 2. The user also gains the ability to dash into enemies like the Shield of Cthulhu. The differences between the two dash attacks are that the Infected Thornshield does more damage and inflicts the debuff, and the user is bounced back with much greater force. Finally, the wearer periodically releases sparks behind them as they move that deal minor damage.
