Glimmer (Aequus)

"A glimmer appears in the sky..."

The Glimmer is a Pre-Hardmode event that may trigger randomly at night, or be summoned manually by using a Galactic Starfruit. It will stay active until the Omega Starite is defeated or morning arrives, causing a multicolored effect in the background to indicate its presence. Unlike typical events, it is centered on a sword that spawns somewhere on the surface, with the progress bar on the HUD indicating how close the player is to it, increasing as they approach and emptying if they get further away. Once the sword is reached, right-clicking it will spawn Omega Starite.

While the event is active, its exclusive music Stargazing Oasis will play.

Merchant	"I think this glittering night would reflect wonderfully off of your coins! Why not try it out, eh?"
Nurse	"Oh, this is a wonderful sight. I've always loved the little beauties the world has hidden away, but it looks like this one decided to come to me!"
Demolitionist	"When I was a little- well, littler lad, I wanted to visit the stars, but dwarves won't fly so high. Nowadays I'm content with just seeing 'em shine like this."
Dye Trader	"Those colors... magnificent! If you can find a dye recipe that recreates that glow you simply must share it with me!"
Angler	"The sky lights? Yeah, sure, they're cool, but not as cool as fish. WAIT! What if they attract some new fish?! I've gotta get in on this!"
Dryad	"What are these lights? I've never seen anything like it in all my years..."
Arms Dealer	"Think I saw a rainbow sword out there. Why's it always swords, huh? Can't we have ancient gun shrines or something for once?"
Tavernkeep	"I'm not normally one for mixing fancy drinks, but this sky's stirring some inspiration. How about a Starite Special?"
