Carpetbagger was used by Southerners as a pejorative term, referring to the carpet bags (a form of cheap luggage made from carpet fabric) which many of these newcomers carried. The term came to be associated with opportunism and exploitation by outsiders.
The Wolfsbane Potion is an innovative and complex potion that relieves, but does not cure, the symptoms of lycanthropy. The main ingredient is wolfsbane (also referred to as aconite or monkshood). As such, this Potion is very dangerous when incorrectly concocted, since Aconite is a very poisonous substance.
From Terraria Wiki. The Thorns Potion is a buff potion which buffs the player with Thorns. The buff knocks back enemies that strike you, dealing a third of their damage to them. The buff lasts for two minutes, but can be canceled at any time by right-clicking the icon. The fishing feature introduced in 1.2.4 seems however to have balanced this by giving Crimson worlds the Heartreach Potion and Rage Potion while only giving Corruption worlds the Wrath Potion. 2  The effect can stack with the set bonus from Turtle armor.
