• Wisp Minion (Terramania!)
  

The Skeleton Staff is a pre-hardmode summon weapon that has a 1/2 (50%) chance to drop from Exiles. It summons a skeletal wisp that takes up two minion slots, follows the player, and attacks enemies by firing bursts of three fireballs. After striking an enemy, the fireballs will explode, dealing half of the weapon's damage as an additional explosion in a small area.

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 Skeleton Staff has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
