The Tesla Cannon is a craftable post-Moon Lord magic gun. When fired, a large light-blue beam is fired that creates a large dust explosion when contacting a block or enemy. The beam will arc towards other nearby enemies once contacting an enemy.
The weapon consumes 0.75 units of charge per use and has a maximum charge of 250. As such, the weapon can be used continuously from full charge 333 times, or for 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
Its best modifier is Mythical.
