Use

The Carnage Ray was a craftable Pre-Hardmode wand. When used, it created a red particle beam which dealt much more damage the farther away the enemy was from the player, up to a maximum of 3x its base damage. It was the Crimson counterpart to the Night's Ray.

Its best modifier was Mythical.

Notes

• The highly damaging piercing beam made this weapon highly effective against worm bosses like the Eater of Worlds, the Desert Scourge, and even The Destroyer.
• It could be considered one of the strongest Pre-Hardmode magic weapons due to its high DPS.
