Gimmick traitor item: Super Broom - John_bigless - 05-16-2018

IT'S SWEEPIN' TIME
GOTTA SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP! (Costs 5 telecrystals, Janitor exclusive, Unavailable on nuke)
When held in both hands, an invisible 3x1 barrier will appear in front of you, and will push anything that it collides with. However, if someone being pushed barrier finds himself between the broom barrier and a hard place, the persom will be pushed trough the barrier, hence you can't kill people with it. Unless you're creative...

However, the mop can be used for more than harrasing your local staff assistants and blocking hallways, such as pushing gibs into one place allowing you to remove them with one spray bottle click or pushing random junk into one spot.

I really really like the idea. But I'd make it unable to push people unless they're already stunned. I'd either make it able to stun people by clicking on them with it OR make it able to sustain stuns while you're pushing people that were already stunned another way, making them roll other the ground and maybe take a little brute damage here and there, in small amounts.

I'd also make the barrier centered on the user, so that people (or things) remain adjacent to the user and can try to fight back.

Maybe this is what the Bull's Charge ability from the Wizard should have. It's very clearly telegraphed, and a massive push effect would make sense.

I was thinking to make it more of an item to fuck with people then to murder people, just like the "Janitor" from "Baldi's basics in education and learning" since all he does is push the player and other characters around.
