Topaz Staff

The Topaz Staff is a phenomenal starting Magic Weapon given its low mana cost, high damage, and easy crafting recipe. It shoots a single bolt. It has slow speed and low knockback, but with your starting base mana of 20, this can be used to devastating effect during your first few nights, especially if you get a good Modifier.

Its best modifiers are Godly or Masterful: the first one increases critical strike chance and has 10% more knockback bonus compared to the second; on the other hand, the latter has a 25% mana cost reduction, making it a preferable choice if your player's mana is still low and can't regenerate fast enough.
