The Skull Totem Scepter is a Hardmode summon weapon that can be dropped by Big Bone. When used, it summons a Soul Skull minion that attacks by shooting a homing Soul Bolt at the target every second. After shootig 5 times, the Soul Skull will slam into the enemy, dealing contact damage.

Pressing Open / Activate will summon a Skull Totem at the cursor. The Totem does not take up minion or sentry slots and will disappear after 1 minute. Any player standing in the Totem's aura will be granted the Skull Idol Empowerment buff that increases summon damage by 12%, increases whip range by 50%, and grants +2 minion slots.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stats bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only significant advantage a Mythical Skull Totem Scepter has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
