Crystal Shatter

Not to be confused with Astralachnea Staff, a wand dropped by Astralachnea.

The Astral Staff is a craftable Hardmode wand. When used, it rains down an astral crystal from the sky that shatters after piercing an enemy once or hitting a tile. Upon shattering, it emits a petal-shaped explosion that damages enemies in an area of effect.

Its best modifier is Mythical.
