The '''Wand of Sparking''' is an early game [[magic weapon]] found in [[Chest|Wooden Chest]]s on the [[Surface]] or in the [[Underground]] [[layer]]. It fires a piercing spark along a parabolic curve, traveling about 16 [[block]]s before dissipating. The spark has a slim chance to inflict the [[On Fire!]] [[debuff]]. The sparks deal no [[knockback]].
   
  +
Its best [[Modifier]] is '''Demonic'''.
The '''Drill Containment Unit''' is a [[mount]]-summoning item. It summons the Drill Mount, a rideable, flying vehicle that mines [[block]]s extremely fast via lasers. The Drill Mount is currently the fastest way to mine in Terraria. It is also the most costly craftable item in the entire game in terms of materials- the sum total of the materials required to craft it is 160 [[Luminite]] (requiring the [[Moon Lord]] to be defeated at least twice, most likely more), 720 [[Chlorophyte Ore]], 600 [[Glowing Mushroom]]s, 20 [[Ectoplasm]], 120 of both [[Hellstone ore|Hellstone]] and [[Meteorite ore]]s, and 40 [[Obsidian]].
 
   
 
== Tips ==
Unlike other mounts, when riding in the Drill Containment Unit, you cannot use any tools or items.
 
  +
* [[Mana]] regeneration scales based on both the player's current and maximum mana. Regenerating 20 mana if the player only has the starting cap of 20 will take significantly longer than it would to fully recover the naturally upgraded cap of 200. Use of the Wand of Sparking as a primary weapon in place of other early weapons is nearly impossible, as casting with the Wand before consuming any [[Mana Crystal]]s will allow for only a few shots per minute, and killing a single [[zombie]] will nearly deplete a starting player's mana pool.
  +
* This weapon is best used extremely early on, after consuming a Mana Crystal or two. Like the [[Copper Shortsword]], it can easily be replaced before you fight the Eye of Cthulhu.
  +
* It can be used to temporarily light up dark spaces at a distance while exploring during the first few days of a character's existence.
   
 
== Trivia ==
All destroyable blocks including [[Lihzahrd Brick]], [[Demon Altars|Altar]] ([[Hardmode]]), and [[Shadow Orb]] / [[Crimson Hearts]] can be destroyed using this mount. However, any Walls will still be intact.
 
  +
* It cannot be obtained from [[Wooden Crate]]s, despite the fact that many of the other rare items found in Wooden Chests can.
 
It allows the player to fly infinitely, which allows it to be used as transport to floating structures. However, this is not recommended, as it is quite slow moving compared to other options, most notably the [[UFO Mount]].

== Notes ==
 
* A spoiler video showed that a player was using [[Laser Machinegun]] while riding in the Drill Mount, which seems no longer possible in the 1.3's official release.
 
* In addition to mining blocks, the Drill Mount also hammers blocks into a slope. This can be quite helpful for building.
 
* Armor that increases mining speed does not affect the mining speed of the Drill Mount.
 
* Despite the fact that all other mining tools do damage, the Drill Mount does not. Therefore, the player can find [[Worm]]s, [[Grasshopper]]s, [[Buggy]]s, and other bait by destroying blocks from the surface layer, without killing them.
 
* The Drill Mount moves 41mph vertically, 31mph horizontally and 51 mph diagonally, according to the Stopwatch
 
 
== Tricks ==
 
* A yoyo can be used when riding the Drill Mount. This works when the yoyo is already in use and the player activates the mount afterwards. This can be useful for attacking enemies while flying around. However, this does mean you will be unable to mine blocks.
 
* Use the stardust dragon before mounting, as he will kill most enemies around you while you mine

The Wand of Sparking is an early game magic weapon found in Wooden Chests on the Surface or in the Underground layer. It fires a piercing spark along a parabolic curve, traveling about 16 blocks before dissipating. The spark has a slim chance to inflict the On Fire! debuff. The sparks deal no knockback.

Its best Modifier is Demonic.

  • Mana regeneration scales based on both the player's current and maximum mana. Regenerating 20 mana if the player only has the starting cap of 20 will take significantly longer than it would to fully recover the naturally upgraded cap of 200. Use of the Wand of Sparking as a primary weapon in place of other early weapons is nearly impossible, as casting with the Wand before consuming any Mana Crystals will allow for only a few shots per minute, and killing a single zombie will nearly deplete a starting player's mana pool.
