Leech Death

The Parasitic Scepter is a craftable Pre-Hardmode wand. When used, it fires 2 to 4 leeches that latch onto enemies on contact. The leeches inflict the Irradiated debuff, which stacks up to 3 times, increasing its damage over time depending on how many leeches are currently latched onto an enemy.

Its best modifier is Mythical.
