The Magna Cannon is a craftable Pre-Hardmode ranged weapon that does not consume ammo. While holding, the player channels a glowing blue orb at the tip of the gun and loads one crystal bolt every 0.15 seconds. After channeling for 2.3 seconds, the orb reaches maximum power, increasing the amount of loaded bolts to 20. Releasing causes an inaccurate barrage of loaded crystal bolts to fire at a rate of 12 bolts per second, which increases to 15 bolts per second if fully charged. Crystal bolts emit a small amount of blue light and do not pierce.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
