Voltaic Orb
The Void Vortex is a craftable post-Moon Lord wand that is a direct upgrade to the Voltaic Climax. When used, it summons a circular spread of 12 tile-ignoring electric orbs along with a larger orb in the center of the ring at the cursor's position that deals 400% of the weapon's damage. The outer orbs quickly converge into the larger orb and space out from each other upon collision, causing the larger orb to explode into 12 homing smaller orbs that deal 66% of the weapon's damage and can pass through tiles. If there are enemies nearby, each outer orb will fire one electric beam at them consecutively that ignores immunity frames but cannot target enemies through tiles. The large orb, smaller orbs, and beams inflict the Electrified debuff.
Its best modifier is Mythical. However, the weapon's knockback will not be affected due to already being 0.
