The Magma Staff in use.

The Magma Staff is a craftable pre-Hardmode summon weapon. When used, it will summon a Magma Cube minion that constantly jumps around. Upon hitting an enemy, it has a 33.33% chance to inflict the On Fire! debuff.

As with all Dragon-Lead weapons, the Magma Staff has a guaranteed chance to inflict the Dragonblaze debuff when a full set of Dragon-Lead armor is equipped.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stats bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only significant advantage a Mythical weapon has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
