The spells that your starter wands can spawn with.
Unstable Crystal is a spell that creates a red crystal cluster that acts like a proximity mine, exploding when it is disturbed by an entity, projectile, or even yourself.
It also appears in the trigger variety. Unlike other trigger spells which cast another spell on contact with terrain or an enemy, Unstable Crystal with Trigger casts a spell upon the destruction of the crystal.
Tips
- Enemies killed by the explosion count as trick kills.
- This spell causes a double explosion and is therefore twice as powerful as stated. However, it explodes only once when Nolla is used.
- Being an explosion effect, this spell will cause heavy
Explosion damage to mechanical enemies, completely ignoring any shields. - Being stained with Berserkium may cause the crystal to trigger immediately as you launch it (considering you an enemy target), unless modified to be deposited at range.
- You can combine this spell with a trail effect (such as Water Trail) to make a fountain.
- Use Dormant Crystal to increase the explosive potential of a trap laid with this spell.
- Has a powerful synergy with Homing Shots, but tends to overshoot when launched directly at a target.
- Projectiles like Bomb that aren't normally affected by Larpa Bounce can be affected by it if they come near a location that has been bounced on with Larpa Bounce.
- Using Long-Distance Cast to simultaneously cast Larpa Bounce with a crystal, a Summon Hollow Egg (can be replaced with Rock) and a Holy Bomb (a projectile that isn't normally affected by Larpa Bounce) allows the Holy Bomb to duplicate mid-air. (Explanation: Larpa Bounce#Exploit)
