Sapphire Wand

The Sapphire Wand is a weapon from Hexen, the starting weapon of the Mage. It is a long metallic staff adorned with a large sapphire. The staff fires fast moving magical blue darts, capable of piercing multiple enemies on a line pattern, and as with other starting weapons requires no mana. Although it does very little damage, its ability to attack monsters at a distance is its advantage over the other basic weapons due to the Mage's relative physical weakness.

Because the wand is a 'hitscan' weapon, it cannot be reflected or deflected away. This, combined with its infinite ammo, make it highly effective against 'deflector' enemies such as the Centaurs and the Heresiarch.
