Topaz Staff - Terraria Weapon

The Topaz Staff is a phenomenal starting magic weapon given its low mana cost, high damage, and easy crafting recipe. It shoots a single, two enemy penetrating bolt, similar to the Water 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).

Crafting Station:
Lead Anvil
Iron Anvil

Ingredient(s):
Tin Bar 10
Topaz 8

Notes:
If your world generated with Copper Ore, you will have to make the Amethyst Staff instead. You could also use an Extractinator, though it would be harder.

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.

It seems that it will occasionally hit a target twice, though it's not certain what causes this.

It is very useful for fighting hordes of enemies due to it not being obstructed after hitting at least one enemy.
