Beam Cast

The Vivid Clarity in use, showing its rebounding beams and spliting projectiles. Note how no split beams are released until after it has bounced off a tile once or has contacted an enemy.

The Vivid Clarity is a craftable post-Moon Lord wand that is the final upgrade of the Night's Ray. It fires a set of 5 beams towards the player's cursor that breaks upon contact with an enemy or tile. Once it breaks, it does one of the following:

• Summons a beam from the sky that rebound off of walls and pierces enemies up to 9 times. The beam deals 70% of the base damage, increasing by 20% when bouncing off a tile and by 10% when piercing an enemy. Enemies that are within nearby range of the beam will be struck with additional smaller beams with less lifespan.
• Forms a massive short-lasting explosion that deals double of the weapon's base damage and ignores immunity frames.
• Bursts into eight homing bolts.

Its best modifier is Mythical.
