Aqua Scepter

The Aqua Scepter is a staff-type weapon received from Chests inside Dungeons. It shoots a stream of water 7 blocks from the player with a damage of 14 and consumes 7 mana in the process.

The speed is listed as slow, but this more refers to the travel speed of the projectiles coming out of the wand. The Aqua Scepter itself deals no damage; an enemy too close to the wielder will simply move past the outstretched wand to hit the player. However, enemies caught in the range of the spray can take up to 3 hits per "use" of the wand. The wand is more mana efficient when pulsed, or when an enemy is trapped against the terrain and has to take all 3 hits from a spray. The wand can be continuously used to keep enemies juggled; however, this drains mana and only hits enemies trapped in the cone 1 time per "use."

The glowing particles drift downwards, making it a good scouting item, much like the sparkles off of the Enchanted Boomerang.

The Aqua Scepter produces only a water-themed projectile; it does not form "blocks" of water. Consequently, it will not form obsidian, fill buckets, nor otherwise affect the environment (except as a weapon).

Trivia

 * During alpha and beta testing, the Aqua Scepter was often considered overpowered, due to the fact that it used so little mana. The mana cost has been raised by the developers since then.
