Pinpoint of Light

Pinpoint of Light is a spell that fires a thin white laser, leaving a small white speck at the point of impact which explodes after a short while. A weaker version of this spell is used as the retaliation attack of Hohtava hyypiö.

The projectile will pierce through enemies and will be able to hit them multiple times (tickrate = 1 or 60 times per sec). It also has friendly-fire enabled (as if modified by Piercing Shot).

Tips

  • Like Piercing Shot, it works well with Homing. This is because of the particle tracks enemies, dealing Damage Projectile dmg-large.png Projectile damage constantly and explodes on their location when the lifetime expires. Explosion protection is recommended.
  • Works well with Heavy Shot, which both increases damage and also slows the beam down, increasing the time it spends inside an enemy doing damage.
  • Use with a single Explosive Projectile modifier for a large Damage Explosion dmg-large.png Explosion damage boost due to the increase in explosion radius.
  • This spell's built-in piercing and relatively long lifetime make it ideal for use with Pollen to produce a looping effect, resulting in many copies of a trigger payload for the mana cost of a single cast. This is similar to the effect of Downwards Larpa or Copy Trail, but allows you to copy both a projectile and any applied modifiers.
