Starlight

starlight is a melee item in item asylum. It is a rapier with a pink hilt and a cyan blade.
==Functionality==
Activating starlight prompts the user to perform rapid piercing stabs with the item. This action releases multiple beams that inflict 3 points of damage each. The motion will be sustained as long as the user maintains activation of the item. As starlight is used, colors of the rainbow are cycled through its stabs. Once the user stops attacking with starlight, the item goes on cooldown for 0.5 seconds.
===Synergies===
When starlight is equipped with either bossraid or ultra instinct, the item gains a special effect: each hit on an enemy deals an additional 4.25 damage after a 1-second delay, with a unique visual effect. Additionally, bossraid's smoke effect will cycle through the colors of the rainbow instead of being solid black and white.
== Tips ==
* This item's hitbox is deceptively long, longer than most melee items in the game.
* This can be treated as a variation of simon's book without fire or walkspeed reduction, a version of the cross with mobility, or a shorter ranged yet stronger version of the micheal p. 
* starlight is able to deal heavy damage to others in closed spaces (i.e. asylum).

==Trivia==
* This item is a reference to the Starlight from Terraria.
**The tooltip is a reference to the fact that the Empress of Light enters into a special "enraged" mode at day making all of her attacks instantly kill the player. If the boss is fought close to sunrise, this may accidentally happen.
