Notes
Part of the Court Magician Sorcerer Set.

The +20 WIS boost applies after the first cast of the scepter, and can stack 5 times if you cast as fast as possible. The damage calculation in the description breaks when doing this.

Since this scepter does not reduce damage between targets, it is good against crowds. With a maxed Sorcerer and 1 WIS boost, this scepter deals 380 lighting damage to 6 targets, or 2,280 damage from lightning. A T7 scepter would do 410 damage, but only for the first target, resulting in 1,785 lightning damage. Tiered scepters have a much larger shockblast, so damage may be higher if enemies are clumped up.

With the full Court Magician Set on a fully maxed sorcerer, each ability activation does 710 damage to 13 targets. With the WIS upon ability activation, activating the ability a second time within 5 seconds would theoretically deal 770 damage to 14 targets. However, the negative MP bonuses from the set and ability activation gives leaves the sorcerer with a max MP of 150, only allowing the Sorcerer to cast the scepter twice in 5 seconds without the use of mana-modifying consumables or mana exaltations.

Another use of the Lightshow Scepter is to use the Wis boost gained from casting to empower another scepter’s cast, though outside of niche situations it is usually better off to use the mana to cast the ability you want another time.

History
Before Exalt Version 1.5.0.0 (May 2021), this item used to cost 125 mana to cast along with boosting Wis by +10 and reducing mana by -30 for 5 seconds on ability use.
