Magic weapons
Magic weapons are weapons which are used in medium- to long-ranged combat. The defining trait of magic weapons is their consumption of mana upon every use.
Due to their unusual and unique forms of attack, the majority of magic weapons can hardly be categorized into different types. Note that minion- and sentry-summoning weapons, which also consume mana, are not considered magic weapons due to the fact that they deal summon damage, not magic damage.
The following lists present all magic weapons along with their damage and how to acquire them. The intention of this is to convey an idea of their strength and the approximate time during gameplay at which they can be obtained. For a sortable list that displays all statistics of all magic weapons, see List of magic weapons.
