The Sparkling Empress is a Pre-Hardmode magic weapon obtained by fishing in the Sunken Sea after defeating Desert Scourge with a 3% chance. When used, it briefly charges, then releases a concentrated light-blue laser that pierces infinitely. Upon killing an enemy, they explode into two to three prism shards that shoot out in random directions, dealing 20% of the weapon's base damage.

Its best modifier is Mythical. However, the weapon's knockback will not be affected due to already being 0.
