The Shadow Manipulator is the Tier 2 Magic crafting station and probably the final crafting station you will make. It requires the Tier 1 station, the Prestihatitator to Prototype and costs 3 Living Logs, 1 Purple Gem and 7 Nightmare Fuel to Craft.
- Nightmare Fuel is dropped by Shadow enemies which can be killed while Insane.
- Living Logs come from killing Treeguards or chopping Totally Normal Trees
- Purple Gems can be created by refining 1 Blue Gem and 1 Red Gem. The Blue and Red Gems are dropped from Red and White Hounds during Hound Waves.
