Wand of Sparking

The Wand of Sparking is an early game Magic Weapon found in surface Chests. It fires a piercing spark along a parabolic curve, traveling about 16 blocks before dissipating. The spark has a slim chance to inflict the On Fire! debuff.

Tips

 * Mana regeneration scales based on both the player's current and maximum mana. Regenerating 20 mana if the player only has the starting cap of 20 will take significantly longer than it would to fully recover the naturally upgraded cap of 200. Use of the Wand of Sparking as a primary weapon in place of other early weapons is nearly impossible, as casting with the Wand before consuming any Mana Crystals will allow for only a few shots per minute, and killing a single Zombie will nearly deplete a starting player's mana pool.
 * This weapon is best used extremely early on, after consuming a Mana Crystal or two. Like the Copper Shortsword, it can easily be replaced before you fight the Eye of Cthulhu.
