Thunder Zapper

The Thunder Zapper is a desert-themed Magic weapon obtainable in Pre-Hardmode. It is found in Sandstone Chests in the Underground Desert or Oasis Crates in the Oasis. When cast, it launches a fast-moving, non-piercing projectile that is unaffected by gravity and will travel around 20 blocks before disappearing with a visual explosion that does no damage. The projectile moves up and down in a sort of zig-zag pattern, although this is only visual and does not affect the actual projectile.

Due to the low mana cost and the speed at which it auto-casts, it can be very useful early on. This weapon is comparable in strength to the Emerald Staff or Diamond Staff.
