Actually what Dioid is referring to in his last sentence is the Warrior Emblem.

But if you are using this magic weapon, you'd need the Sorcerer Emblem. Or if you're a mixed battler, you can use the Avenger Emblem (which only adds 12% damage, rather than 15% like any other emblem, but applies to ALL combat types and it stacks with any other Emblem).

I find it difficult to stick to only one combat type throughout the game, but I can when fighting certain bosses. Like against The Twins, I use only ranged, and against The Destroyer and Skeletron Prime I use only melee (Shadow Knives!!!) and that's as far as I have made it in the game. I literally just finished defeating Skeletron Prime. Thought it would be really hard, but with the Hallowed armor, Warrior emblem, a few buff potions... anyway, I made this Rainbow Rod afterwards because I didn't realize that I could have made it before then, and I never really needed magic anyway. But now I'm all hyped about the rainbow rod and maybe I'll use it to fight Plantera, but idk. I'm liking being a melee user because I get my bonuses from the armor with the highest defense. Also the Hallow armor for melee users boosts your running speed too so that's difficult for me to avoid. Shadow Knives aren't as good as Vampire Knives, but I gotta go kill Plantera before I can get them. Really liking knives though. Hahaha sorry for all of that. I'll get back to playing instead of talking about playing.
