Amethyst Staff - Terraria Weapon

The Amethyst Staff is a phenomenal starting magic weapon given its low mana cost, high damage, and simple 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.

Due to the minute mana cost, the Amethyst Staff is unable to obtain modifiers which affect its mana cost, including (but not limited to) Masterful, Mythical, and Adept. Therefore, the best possible modifier is Godly.

Crafting Station:
Lead Anvil
Iron Anvil

Ingredient(s):
Copper Bar 10
Amethyst 8

Notes
If your world generated with Tin Ore, you will have to make the Topaz Staff instead, unless you gather enough Copper Ore with the Extractinator.

The bolt does not ricochet, leaving you vulnerable if the bolt hits the ground first before you can cast it again.

Due to its also somewhat slow projectile speed, this weapon suffers when facing moving aerial targets, such as the Demon Eye.
