Laser Rifle

The Laser Rifle is a magic weapon that is dropped by the Wall of Flesh. It fires thin blue lasers (with purple lightings) that penetrate multiple enemies for magic damage. It shoots very rapidly, can be held down to repeatedly shoot, extremely accurate, and has a long range.

This is a fairly powerful weapon against worms due to the penetration and high fire rate maximizing the time worms spend above ground. This weapon is also fairly cheap, only 7 mana, effectively meaning it can easily snipe some lesser mobs and has some use in PvP. The main reason for that is the low cost, easy to gather, just kill the Wall of Flesh a few times, and it drops no ammo. While that means the damage is lower of course that means you can create a "Clone Army" using only Laser Rifles and Cobalt or Mithril armor, depending on how resilient you want each person to be. For boss fights this can easily butcher an Eater of Worlds or if you can dodge attacks can be efficient against The Destroyer. The light as with any other light emitting weapon it can be used in mining and exploring.
