Paraffin

Paraffin is an early-Hardmode Boss intended to be fought after Wall of Flesh.

While Paraffin is alive, her own music, "Paraffin's Theme" will play.

Spawn
Paraffin does not spawn on her own, she can be freed by unlocking the Tectonic Cage with a Tectonic Key. Upon opening will be attached to the player that unlocked the cage, and can be interacted with. She will stay as long as the player is near hell. Upon getting too far from it, she gets dizzy, goes down and despawns. Upon defeating her she will drop the Sinister Candle which can be used to summon her again afterwards.



Behavior

 * When rejected or challenged, she engulfs in rage, pushes the player away to not deal unfair contact damage and begins her battle.

Phase 1

 * Candle spin - Paraffin goes stationary, Her sprite will become a Tornado, Paraffin will then start shooting fists at the player and circling the player going from slow to fast and then slow again before going dizzy
 * Bass solo - Paraffin goes stationary, pulls out her Guitar, Plays a tune then Gold notes appear from the left & right of the Paraffin, This goes in a wave towards her going from down to up
 * Flame Cheerios - Paraffin goes stationary, Sticks out her arms then summons 2 Circles at her side that fire more fire rings from Sideways to downwards
 * Serpent dash - Paraffin goes stationary then dashes at the player, Once she has travelled far enough, Paraffin appears from the side of the player she originally dashes, Upon each new dash a Bone Serpent is spawned below the player which moves upwards

Phase 2

 * Phase 2 is Expert Mode Exclusive.
 * At 50% health, Paraffin gets more angry, begins hitting her head with a Pwnhammer and have her attacks boosted.
 * Candle Spin's projectiles and speed are increased.
 * Bass Solo's projectiles now become purple notes and collapse inwards in a circle formation.
 * Flame Cheerios adds two more rings that fire upwards.
 * Serpent Dashes are much faster with the addition of more Serpents spawning.

Aftermath
Upon defeating her, she will drop her Sinister Candle which can be used to summon her again and will no longer be attached to the player. She will also drop a Troublesome Vessel, which will turn into Pandora's Cup upon favoriting, thus Seth can be fought.

There is a chance to meet Vulcan in the Underworld Domain.

Freeing from the Tectonic Cage

 * "Ancient Evil has been unleashed..."

Before Rejecting

 * "Ha ha ha! Ah, free at last! It's been a long two hours in this boring cage. Name's Paraffin, and you just hit the jackpot, because I'm the best friend you can possibly have, whether you like it or not! Together we're gonna rock this world!" (Interacting with her for the first time)
 * "Me? Fading away? Ha ha ha, you're so funny! As long as I have some loving dupes around, I'm an eternal flame, baby!"
 * "What's your favorite one of my many, many outstanding traits? Mine's my Humility!"
 * "Big and loud! Things gonna get big and loud!"
 * "Gee, it sure is boring around here! Are you even planning on having fun? I'm starving!"
 * "I'm so not a villain, I have zero evil plan, No ulterior motives, Just wanna help where I care!"
 * "Oh, I always liked pushing big red buttons! They are always shoved into the most prominent places, and when you push them, something exciting happens!"

Rejecting

 * "How could it be?... Was I not good enough for you?"
 * "No one... No one dares to reject Paraffin!"

After Rejecting and failing

 * "Back for more?"
 * "Come on, come on, shoot me!"
 * "Don't act like everything is revolving around you. Your independence pisses me off!"
 * "I bet in real life you're even uglier."
 * "Ugh, why is it so hard to find someone who just likes you and doesn't want anything in return!?"

Lore

 * According to Vulcan, Paraffin is a sculpture made of wax and ashes and revived using living flame from his cup, made to make people from Nexus evaluate his work. She turned out to be too intrusive, coarse, rough, irriating and was getting anywhere. He couldn't take her life without her will, but to keep her away he made Another living structure made of bones and stones. He thought that get rid of Paraffin was to shift her focus, so he made Seth strong, hot and came up with a crazy epic lore to get her attention. After thinking he was alone, Seth came to Vulcan, exhausted and depressed, apparently, even with his patience he couldn't stand her shenanigans. Vulcan was about to make another living statue to cure his depression, but realised that he lost all his living flames on these two. Later that night, Seth broke into Vulcan's floor, ripped his flame out of his chest in the most dramatic way possible, put it back in the cup and tied it with chains into a knot, leaving only a pile of stones behind. After Seth disappeared, Paraffin became enraged, and blamed Vulcan for his imprisonment. She ruined his ruins, took the cup along with the cage and set of keys, and went deep underground with unknown intentions.
