Aqua Scepter

The Aqua Scepter is a magical staff that consumes 12 mana per shot. It can be found in the Dungeon.

Rarely when using this in multiplayer, it is considered cheating by Terraria itself, to use the Aqua Scepter, due to it shooting out many projectiles at once. This could be due to server lag, and what not. If this happens in multiplayer the game will automatically kick you from the server and a message will appear saying you were cheating.

It sprays rapid streams (3 per cast, for a total of 15*3=45 damage before defense) of glowing water with a range of 7 blocks from the player. Although its base damage is 15 and its speed is slow, when held it spams the beam and constantly consumes mana.

The Aqua Scepter does not actually create water: it only shoots a water-looking projectile. It cannot be used to create quantities of water or to turn lava into obsidian.

This weapon also has a non-battle function: the particle effects from the water glow and fall down through the ground, when sprayed around caves this can be used to find other caves and caverns in a method called cave hopping. This technique is best used in the third underground layer as caves are closer together there.
