The effects and uses of a Crystal Ball in Terraria
Unless you are picking up the Crystal Ball for purely cosmetic reasons, you’ll probably want to know what effects the Crystal Ball has. The activation of the item’s effects is quite simple, as all you need to do is set the Crystal Ball down on a surface to activate it. Once you interact with it, it will give you theClairvoyancebuff, which lasts until death and grants 20 extra mana, five percent extra damage, two percent magic critical strike chance, and a two percent reduction in mana consumption when casting spells. For magic users, these buffs are incredible, but the Crystal Ball has one more major benefit for magic users in that it also functions as a crafting table for magical items such as an Endless Quiver or a Sandstorm in a Bottle.
