Summons Minion
Sirius

Sirius is a craftable post-Moon Lord summon weapon that is a direct upgrade to the Vengeful Sun Staff. It summons a stratus light entity that hovers above the player's head and shoots beams towards nearby enemies at the cost of 6 minion slots. Additionally, it summons light explosions onto nearby enemies similarly to the Rainbow Crystal Staff.

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.

Trivia

• The weapon, minion and tooltip are based off of Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky with a visual magnitude of -1.46.
• Sirius was implemented based on a community suggestion made by Boltlord on the mod's Discord server.
