Interactions[]
- Anti-Gravity: Tears can track enemies while frozen in place, once one comes close enough.
- Epic Fetus: Cursor slides towards enemies.
- Eye of the Occult: Tears home in on enemies when not being maneuvered.
- The Ludovico Technique: The tear will attempt to home towards a single target, even if it hits a different enemy on its way there, making it difficult to control.
- The changes to homing tears make it nearly impossible to maintain control of the shot while it's near an enemy.
- Technology Zero: The electricity is unaffected.

Trivia[]
- Edmund McMillen has stated in his first post-Repentance Isaac Lore Stream[1] that Spoon Bender is directly inspired by the stage magic of illusionist Uri Geller, more specifically the act of 'spoon bending' which was one of Geller's trademark tricks.
- McMillen describes Geller as a 'scam artist', so it can be gathered that this reference was not born out of appreciation.
- Spoon Bender may also be a reference to The Matrix.
- This item is used in Computer Savvy (challenge #16).
- According to a Twitter post[2] from Tyrone Rodriguez, the Brimstone + Spoon Bender synergy was modeled after the Plasma Laser, first introduced in the video game Raiden II.
- Isaac's new appearance with Spoon Bender now bears more resemblance to Psychic Horfs and Psychic Maws.
- It also resembles Isaac's sprite from the original game.
