Topaz Staff

The Topaz Staff is a phenomenal starting magic weapon given its low mana cost, high damage, and easy crafting recipe. It shoots a single bolt. It has slow speed and low knockback, but with your starting base mana of 20, this can be used to devastating effect during your first few nights, especially if you get a good Modifier.

The best modifiers the Topaz Staff can receive appears to be Masterful (for mana efficiency) and Godly (for crit and knockback).
