Aim Option
The Aim Option inherits all characteristics of the standard Option. It is one of the direct upgrades from the standard Option. They are bright faded red in color, similar to a red dwarf star. They have a special ability triggered by holding the Option Action Key.
The Aim Option's special ability is being able to focus the projectiles' direction towards the mouse cursor instead of firing the same angle as the player's main projectile. The movement behavior will still remain as is.
The Aim Options are separated into a total of 4 accessories. One may combine them to a total of just 2 as they progress through the game so they take up fewer accessory slots.

They were based from the Direction Options from Gradius V. The special function of the Direction Option is for the player's bullets to change direction, except his own, in a full 360 degrees rotation.
Since Terraria players can aim in a full 360 degrees rotation as well, the concept of the Direction Option in this game is pointless.
Using the same concept of being able to aim, the only lacking feature for the standard Options is targeting and focusing in one point. This is how the Aim Options came to mind, and thus implemented.
