Gem staves

A Gem staff is a magic weapon that fires a brightly glowing projectile that travels at medium speed (the 3 highest-tier Gem staves can also pierce up to 2 enemies). There are currently 7 types corresponding to the 7 different mineable Gems. They are crafted from Gems and Bars at the Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil.

Tips

 * Staffs lie between the Space Gun and the Laser Rifle in damage rate, making them powerful pre-Hardmode weapons.
 * Their bright glow, low mana cost, and auto-fire from the higher tiers make Gem staffs handy cave exploration tools.
