Summon items

Not to be confused with Boss summoning items.

Various Summoning-related items have been added to increase the variety of summonable damage sources, and expand on the Summoner class in Terraria. 4 accessories and 2 armor types and quite a few minions have been added to supplement a Summoner's arsenal.

Minions are secondary characters spawned by summon weapons and serve as the source of attack for the summoner class. The Antiaris mod currently adds 6 minions.
