Spirit Sceptre

The Spirit Sceptre is a Dungeon Sword with mediocre melee damage but a very strong ability. It is primarily used by Mages inside Dungeons.

Essence Crafting
This weapon can be upgraded with wither essence.

Usage
When the item's ability is used, a bat will be shot towards the direction user faces. The player can control its trajectory by looking in the direction they want them to go in. Upon impact, the bat will create an explosion with a radius of 6 blocks when it hits a block or an entity, dealing the same damage to all mobs affected by the explosion.

Like other magic weapons, this weapon's Item Ability scales with the player's, this one having a scaling of 0.2.

The weapon requires a Floor IV completion to use.

Bats spawned by the item count towards the Bat Person Talisman, Ring and Artifact buffs.

One notable use of the Spirit Sceptre is spinning around while firing in order to form a mass of bats and targeting them to the boss when it spawns. This strategy can make quick work of Scarf's second phase and The Professor's 2nd and third phases.

Trivia

 * Its ability has the highest explosion radius of any ability, at 6 blocks.
