The Holy Magnifying Glass in use during the Day and during the Night.
The Holy Magnifying Glass is a pre-Hardmode magic weapon dropped by Erhan, Anglonic High Priest. Holding the attack button will fire a Scorching Ray at a set angle, draining 15 mana per second. Whenever the Scorching Ray hits a tile, it has a 50% chance to leave Lingering Embers that deal 50% of the weapon's damage and can only deal damage 2 times. Both the Scorching Ray and Lingering Embers inflict the On Fire! debuff.
Its best modifier is Demonic, as it does not have any knockback, and thus cannot get modifiers that affect it.

Trivia
- During the Night, the Scorching Ray and Lingering Embers change their color to blue. This is purely visual and doesn't affect the weapon's damage.
- Its tooltip is a reference to the common activity done by children of using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight onto a bug to burn it.
