NEW ITEM CRASH IDEAS CUZ THE OLD SSSSSSUUUUUCK:

Okay so the old item crashes are not good enough to make up for the new scarce ammo supply, so we're gonna need better ones to address this:

===LANCE===
original purpose: long range damage

Old item crash: fast flying ripper shot. kinda boring

new idea: Rocket lance flies forward, when it hits a monster, the projectile dies, summons a AOE lightning strike down upon the monster and a new lance is spawned which continues to travel forward, wrecking shit in its path

===DAGGER===
original purpose: DPS

Old item crash: a shitload of daggers

new idea: Keep it because shitting fury on things is fun

===AXE===
Original purpose: Skill based damage and utility

old item crash: Three hatchets that rip and bounce, linger for awhile

new idea: One big spinning axe that flies and bounces around, throwing smaller axes at monsters, has a limited homing effect so it "patrols" for monsters

===TORCH===
Original purpose: Powerful area control

old item crash: bouncing fireball that left lingering pillars of flame wherever it bounced

new ideas: Large fireball that engulfs a patch of ground with flames.

Or maybe the fireball spawns one giant erupting pillar of fire with rumbling effects

===SHIELD===
Original purpose: defensive utility

Old item crash: shield dashing

New idea: Project a big ass wall that slides forward, reflecting projectiles and repeatedly shoving monsters away.
Or maybe summon a friendlly NPC of some kind?
