Shadowbeam Staff

Necromancer drop and hitscan beam reflection

Obtained from the Necromancer in brick-walled sections of the post-Plantera Dungeon. Casting the staff emits an instantaneous beam of purple energy that travels at hitscan velocity, piercing through infinite enemies along its trajectory. The staff delivers 80 base magic damage with 6 knockback at a brisk use time of 15 while consuming a light 7 mana.

Enclosed room ricochet and Dungeon clearing

The beam reflects off solid surfaces up to 10 times, bouncing throughout tight corridors and repeatedly striking clustered foes. Each pierced target reduces beam damage by 10%, though its instant trajectory eliminates aiming lead time. In enclosed Dungeon chambers and subterranean farming tunnels, a few casts clear whole rooms rapidly. Combining it with Spectre Mask generates homing spirit missiles from every enemy struck. Mythical is the premier prefix.

Trivia

• The beam connects instantaneously with no projectile travel delay, functioning as a true hitscan attack.
• Its energy ray bounces off solid walls up to 10 times before finally extinguishing.
