Keresphere

Keresphere is a throwable consumable harvested from a fully grown Nyxshade. It is used as a panic-inducing projectile rather than a direct damage item, making it more of a crowd-control tool than a finishing weapon.

On impact, Keresphere applies Thanatophobia to enemies in the area of effect, causing them to flee from the player for a short time. This can briefly break hostile pressure and make room to reposition, but it also makes securing kills on tougher enemies more difficult because affected targets will run away instead of staying engaged. Fleeing enemies can also draw additional enemies into the fight, so it should be used with care when combat is already crowded.

• Harvesting a full-grown Nyxshade does not consume the plant permanently; after harvesting, it returns to a 5/5 growth stage and only needs to regrow one cycle.
• Nyxshade does not produce Nyxshade Seeds, and Keresphere cannot be scrapped into seeds, so the plant is the only known source.
• The item is especially useful for creating breathing room against dangerous enemies, including Exor Monks, which will flee when affected.
