Redemptive Spark

Sunshard Ray

The Sunshard Greatstaff in use.

The Sunshard Greatstaff is a craftable Hardmode wand. When used, it fires an even spread of five Redemptive Sparks that slightly home in on enemies. If a Redemptive Spark hits a friendly NPC or another player, they will be healed for 3 life. Every third consecutive shot fires a Sunshard Ray at the cursor that lingers for 1 second.

Its best modifier is Mythical.
