But for the short version, all matter of a high enough density can be inflicted with Cursed Inferno, and it will ignore items of a small-or large-enough size, such as planets and microscopic bacteria. Air is ignored, gas-based enemies tend to get hit, and Flippies, (whatever that is, I thought a robotic dog) are large and dense enough to be set Cursed Inferno.

Cursed Inferno is known in Terraria to be one of those attacks which lasts a pretty long amount of time for a constant damage debuff, and can't be removed or rendered immune to. Even talking to the nurse, who normally removes all debuffs you have for a price, does not work on Cursed Inferno. You have to sit out its ten second burn time, taking ten points of damage per second. That souds like so little, but compared to other constant damage debuffs, the best is six per second from Venom, to five from Fireblocks, four from being on fire regularly, and two from poison. Cursed Inferno...I though it was a black flame with 2 elements: Darkness and Fire
