Solemn lament

solemn lament is a melee item in item asylum. It is a pair of black and white handguns with imprinted butterfly designs.
== Functionality ==
Activating this item causes the user to alternate firing between the pair, starting with the white handgun. Each pull of the trigger spews out butterflies matching the color of their respective handgun and plays a chime. Each blast from the white gun deals 20 damage and plays a high pitched chime, while each blast from the black gun deals 15 damage, plays a lower pitched chime, and additionally curses affected individuals. Both guns will briefly stun victims with each hit.
=== Eternal Rest ===
The user will glow with a white aura, temporarily increasing the firerate of Solemn Lament for 10 seconds. This ability has a 15 second cooldown, and starts with the cooldown active when the weapon is acquired.
== Tips ==
* solemn lament has higher range than most melee weapons that is also able to hit multiple opponents within its range.
* Pairing solemn lament with items that increase mobility will greatly increase its lethality.
* Eternal Rest allows the opponent's health to rapidly drain with its fast firing rate and curse.
* It is recommended to avoid using first person while Eternal Rest is activate, as the white aura will obstruct the view and can even decrease FPS.
* solemn lament is an extremely reliable weapon for stacking curse on an opponent/boss, especially in short ranged bosses/mostly immobile bosses like Man of Nature and Matter.
