The legendary staff. Aim it at a block, and then use its skill to summon a Sand Spirit Guard into battle!

The Summoning Staff is an Equip item used as a ranged weapon, and shoots summoning orbs. It deals between 16 damage at minimum charge (17 if headshot) to 24 damage at maximum charge (28 if headshot). Shooting the orb anywhere (such as against a creature or on a block) will summon a Sand Spirit Guard that will protect the player from opponents, but will despawn after ~62 seconds. Each shot only consumes the staff's durability and has the longest staff cooldown, requiring the player to wait 60 seconds before shooting another orb. It can be obtained by adding a Summoning Crystal Core to a Wooden Staff on an Incomplete Crafting Table or a Crafting Table.
