Fires homing projectiles at the nearest enemy regardless of facing direction. No aiming required, so almost nothing escapes. Each level up adds projectile count, damage, and fire rate, eventually approaching a near-continuous stream.

Homing makes it excellent at picking off fragile enemies fleeing toward the screen edge, and it scales well in both add-clear and high-HP loadouts. Synergy with cooldown reduction is exceptional — pair with Empty Tome and you'll be amazed how fast it shoots.

Max Magic Wand (Lv 8), carry Empty Tome (-8% cooldown per level), and open an elite-drop chest after 10:00 to evolve into Holy Wand.

Holy Wand Effect

After evolution the cooldown shrinks dramatically — homing projectiles stream out almost continuously, behaving like a laser barrage. Count, speed, and damage all jump, making it one of the most reliable ranged DPS weapons in the late game.

• Homing means no missed targets, no aiming required
• Near-zero cooldown after evolution, continuous fire
• Projectile passives compound the volley exponentially
• Versatile in both single-target and crowd scenarios

• Always targets the nearest enemy — hard to focus a specific boss
• In dense crowds, projectiles tend to scatter to the perimeter
• Empty Tome is mandatory and competes with other CDR sources

• Imelda: +10% growth speeds leveling and rushes the evolution
• Gennaro: extra projectile count adds homing shots
• Mortaccio: starts with Magic Wand, stable evolution path

• Empty Tome: mandatory for evolution, top priority
• Duplicator: extra projectile per cast
• Wings + Spinach: raise damage and projectile speed
• Spinach: +10% Might raises per-shot damage

• VI Sarabande of Healing: retaliation projectiles add to Magic Wand DPS
• XX Silent Old Sanctuary: projectile +1 plus speed bonus
• VIII Mad Groove: periodic auto-pickup raises pickup density of CDR items

• Early (0–10 min): Level Magic Wand first, secure 1 Empty Tome in parallel.
• Mid (10–20 min): Hit Empty Tome + Magic Wand Lv MAX, trigger the elite chest evolution. After Holy Wand appears, prioritize projectile count and damage passives.
• Late (20+ min): Holy Wand sweeps everything; pair with a single-target weapon (Knife) for boss removal.

Q: Can Magic Wand carry a build solo?
A: Homing means nothing escapes, but you can't focus specific bosses, so single-target damage is thin. Pair with an AoE or burst weapon.

Q: Empty Tome or Spellbinder first?
A: Whichever evolution you're chasing — Magic Wand needs Empty Tome, King Bible needs Spellbinder. If you're going for both, secure both.

Q: How does the homing target priority work?
A: It always picks the nearest enemy. To force fire on a specific target, walk toward it.
