Notes
A unique “prism” that doesn’t teleport the player, but rather puts a stationary coin decoy on the cursor’s location. While the length of the decoy is highly inconsistent due to using a luck-based system to determine its duration (≈ 4s*), the ability to plant the decoy exactly wherever the user wishes from a safe distance (unlike the Brain of the Golem, which also deploys a stationary decoy, except on the user’s current position) allows Tricksters to be far more precise with their decoy placements than with any other prism. This makes it a highly useful tool for setting up precise decoys, despite the inconsistency of its duration. It also gives potent offensive stats to boost Trickster’s damage output.

*Since both the gold coin and and the silver coin both have a 1/2 chance of existing or disappearing, their expected lifetime is the same. Each second it has a 1/2 chance of disappearing so the probability that it exists for exactly N seconds is 1/(2^N) (One can model this as flipping a fair coin until we get a tails, each time we flip a coin represents 1 second of lifetime). Then the expected lifetime is computed by the infinite series
1(1/2) + 2(1/4) + 3(1/8) + … + N(1/2^N) + …. = 2. Therefore the expected lifetime for both coins is 4s
