Effects[]

Synergies[]

Interactions[]

  • Anti-Gravity: Tears can track enemies while frozen in place, once one comes close enough.
  • (except in Rebirth) Epic Fetus: Cursor slides towards enemies.
  • (in Repentance) 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.
    • (in Repentance) The changes to homing tears make it nearly impossible to maintain control of the shot while it's near an enemy.
  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) Technology Zero: The electricity is unaffected.

Notes[]

  • This item replaces Isaac's regular white aura with a dimmer purple one which lowers visibility in Curse of Darkness.

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.
  • (in Repentance) 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.
