Crimson Sceptre (Aequus)

Crimson Sceptre
The Crimson Sceptre is a Necromancy sceptre which can convert enemies into ghost minions. When used, it fires a red homing bolt which travels at a fast speed.
It inflicts a debuff which applies 12 damage over time. If the enemy is killed with this debuff active, they will convert into a ghost minion. The debuff also has an instant kill threshold, which is 1/10th of the enemy's total life, capped at 50.
Ghost Minion
Ghost minions converted by the Crimson Sceptre will have 20 base damage, and move 30% faster than usual.
The minion will have a Blood Red (#ff0a0a) aura. However if you are playing PVP in Multiplayer, it will change to be the same color as your current Team.

Tips
- Crafting a Crimson Sceptre earlygame may be useful, while it does use a Life Crystal, it deals great damage and practically grants an extra minion.
- The Crimson Sceptre is very strong in events, especially the Goblin Army, as the goblins can be converted.
- Capturing enemies before a bossfight begins, for example: Demon Eyes, Eater of Souls, or Blood Crawlers, can allow you to have ghost minions during a bossfight without needing to use the sceptre during it.
- The Servant of Cthulhu can be converted, allowing for the Crimson Sceptre to be used during the first phase of the Eye of Cthulhu fight.
- The Creeper in the Brain of Cthulhu fight cannot be converted, making the Crimson Sceptre not usable for it.
