Demon Blood Staff casting animation. Note the blood charge effect.

The Demon Blood Staff is a late Hardmode magic weapon that shoots a concentrated blood globule projectile that is capable of hitting a single enemy up to five times, essentially quintupling damage output. Hitting enemies with the projectile generates blood charges, indicated by red globules that surround the wielder. After acquiring 4 blood charges, the next attack using the weapon will consume the charges to deal extra damage and restore some life to the wielder, as well as display a red explosion. However, after this attack, the wielder will receive the Blood Harvest debuff, preventing them from being able to deal this bonus attack again for 10 seconds.

Its best modifier is Mythical.
