Use

The Gauss Pistol is a craftable Hardmode magic gun. When used, it spawns an immobile green blast that travels towards the cursor after 0.5 seconds.

The weapon consumes 0.05 units of charge per use and has a maximum charge of 85. As such, the weapon can be used continuously from full charge 1700 times, or for 9 minutes and 26 seconds.

Its best modifier is Mythical.
