Summons Minion
Sirius

Sirius is a craftable post-Moon Lord summon weapon that is a direct upgrade to the Vengeful Sun Staff. When used, it summons a stratus star minion that hovers above the player's head and fires infinitely-piercing beams at nearby enemies which pass through tiles. When the beams hit an enemy, they create a damaging light explosion similarly to the explosions created from the Rainbow Crystal Staff's sentry. The beams and explosions inflict the Nightwither debuff. There can only be one minion summoned at a time and the minion takes up 6 minion slots.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Sirius has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
