Phoenix Rod



The Phoenix Rod is a powerful weapon from Heretic. This golden winged rod is powered by Flame Orbs. Like Doom's Rocket launcher, it launches fireballs that explode with splash damage which can hurt the player if he's too close. When enhanced by a Tome of Power, the Phoenix Rod behaves like a flamethrower, pumping out a torrent of fire that causes severe damage to anything in its path. The Phoenix Rod's normal fireballs pass through ghosts without harming them. However, its splash damage and power mode flames will damage ghosts. Maximum capacity is 20 shots, or 40 with the Bag of Holding.
