Catharsis is a Post-Moon Lord Whip obtained by exhuming the Kaleidoscope. It normally acts like a traditional whip, but subtracts 15 health from the player per use. Each use also grants the player one blood charge, with a maximum capacity of 20 blood charges being available.

Catharsis has 3 levels (with the default state being level 0). If the player Right Clicks while holding Catharsis, their stored Blood Charges are converted to levels (0-6 Blood Charges will get the player to level 1, 7-14 will get the player to level 2, and 15-20 will get the player to level 3). The formula used for determining how long Catharsis remains empowered is c * 60, where c is the number of Blood Charges. 60 is the conversion factor from in-game ticks (frames) to seconds. At level 0, Catharsis will appear as a normal whip. Level 1 gives Catharsis a moving glow effect. At level 2, Catharsis loses its whip form and appears as a rapidly moving wave of red energy. Level 3 makes this energy brighter.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Trivia

• The item's flavor text references how the player sacrificed the purity of the Kaleidoscope for power.
