Hallowed ingredient crafting and guided rainbow light
Crafted at a Mythril Anvil using 10 Crystal Shard, 2 Unicorn Horn, 10 Pixie Dust, 8 Soul of Light, and 15 Soul of Sight, the Rainbow Rod is a potent post-mechanical magic weapon. Casting it expends 21 mana to project a brilliant rainbow spark that can be actively steered with the mouse cursor, or allowed to home automatically toward nearby enemies upon release.
Area explosion bursts and mythical prefix
Inflicting 50 base magic damage with 6 knockback, the spark produces a colorful blast upon impact that pierces up to three foes. It represents a substantial upgrade over the pre-Hardmode Magic Missile and early Hardmode Flamelash, dealing sufficient punch to handle Solar Eclipses and underground dungeon exploration. Mythical is the finest modifier, minimizing mana overhead while bolstering damage, velocity, and critical strike chance.
Trivia
- Holding the attack button lets you guide the rainbow spark around solid barriers to strike entrenched monsters.
- The rainbow projectile generates bright multi-colored illumination, making it useful for illuminating dark subterranean caverns.
