phantoms are not punishing enough for players who are endgame. they are only an annoyance because they are not taken seriously.

that is why i have invented the spear-it. a phantom with spears.

it appears after 7 nights of no sleeping and does double normal phantom damage. attempts to escape it are futile as it can speed up to maximum 30bps. it has extended range and can hit through 1-block walls. blocking with shield knocks player back flying proportional to speed.

only 1 appears at night 7, but 1 more appears with each added night
