Magic weapons76

Spell tomes, wands and staves, with mana cost and damage. 76 items, stats straight from the Terraria 1.4.5 game data.

how magic weapons work

Magic weapons bill you in mana instead of ammunition, so your ceiling is not what you carry but how quickly the blue bar refills. The category covers wands and staves that fire a single bolt, tomes that throw spreads, and a few oddities shaped like guns that still draw from the same pool.

Mana returns much faster while you stand still, which is why mage play tends to look like short bursts from behind cover rather than one continuous stream. Stars dropped by dying enemies top you up mid fight, and a Mana Flower drinks for you automatically. Potions are not free, though: each one leaves Mana Sickness, which cuts your magic damage while it lingers, so two in a row give back less than you expect.

picking one

Compare cost per shot before you compare damage. A cheap spell you can hold down out-performs an expensive one you fire four times and then stop. Mythical is the usual reforge target because it moves damage, speed and mana cost together, though a weapon with no knockback gets less from it and can settle for Mystic.

Capacity comes from Mana Crystals, and gear such as Celestial Cuffs turns damage taken into mana back. By the time you are running a full mage kit, the accessory slots decide more than the weapon does, because the question in a long fight is whether you can keep firing at all. Loadouts by stage are laid out under class setups.
