The Hexagonal Donut
Plantera
So I know I'm not the only one who desires more gem staff-style items, so here I am with my own take on this idea.
Tier 5, 7, 8, and 9 staves are sprited by me. Please keep in mind that these stats are not set in stone; I am open to suggestions on different values.
A bunch of these sprites are by the awesome @SilverHexxitFights; go check his stuff out! He's pretty cool.
Easymode
Kudos to @SilverHexxitFights for the sprite!
Name: Acorn Staff
Damage: 4
Use Time: 40 (Very Slow)
Velocity: 6
Mana: 2
Crafting: 35x Wood, 8x Acorn @ Workbench
I leave you to try and figure out whether or not this is a serious weapon or a joke.
Name: Shadow's Blessing
Damage: 26
Use Time: 23 (Fast, Autofire)
Velocity: 10
Mana: 10
Crafting: 10x Demonite Bar, 8x Shadow Scale, 4x Diamond @ Anvil OR 1x Diamond Staff, 2x Demonite Bar, 2x Shadow Scale
Casts single fast shadow bolts with a bit higher damage from the Diamond Staff. Still only hits two enemies.
Name: Flesh Flayer
Damage: 28
Use Time: 32 (Slow, Autofire)
Velocity: 9
Mana: 10
Crafting: 10x Crimtane Bar, 8x Tissue Sample, 4x Diamond @ Anvil OR 1x Diamond Staff, 2x Crimtane Bar, 2x Tissue Sample
Casts single fast blood bolts with a bit higher damage from Shadow's Blessing, but slower. Hits three enemies.
Name: Nature's Scepter
Damage: 24
Use Time: 28 (Average, Autofire)
Velocity: 14
Mana: 10
Crafting: 24x Rich Mahogany Wood, 12x Jungle Spore, 8x Stinger
Fires fast, bouncing energy bolts that can bounce 3 times, but only hit one enemy.
And more kudos to @SilverHexxitFights for this one!
Name: Infernal Bolt
Damage: 30
Use Time: 25 (Fast, Autofire)
Velocity: 12
Mana: 12
Crafting: 10x Hellstone Bar, 12x Obsidian
Fires large, flaming bolts that have a larger hitbox than other staves, but hit harder and leave an extensive On Fire debuff on whatever they hit.
These two are done by Silver as well!
Name: Dusk's Vengeance
Damage: 27
Use Time: 20 (Very Fast, Autofire)
Velocity: 8
Mana: 12
Crafting: 1x Shadow's Blessing, 1x Aqua Scepter, 1x Nature's Scepter, 1x Infernal Bolt
The staff equivalent to Night's Edge, but with a bit of a twist. Bolts fired by Dusk's Vengeance can bounce once, pierce once, move slower, and fire quicker.
Name: Unholy Destructor
Damage: 31
Use Time: 30 (Average, Autofire)
Velocity: 10
Mana: 12
Crafting: 1x Flesh Flayer, 1x Aqua Scepter, 1x Nature's Scepter, 1x Infernal Bolt
And the staff equivalent to Wrath of the Gods, exhibiting the same basic effects as Dusk's Vengeance, but trading bouncing and some speed for 2 extra pierces and some extra damage.
Hardmode
Name: Cobalt Staff
Damage: 32
Use Time: 22 (Fast, Autofire)
Velocity: 10
Mana: 12
Crafting: 10x Cobalt Bar, 10x Crystal Shard or 1x Beam Reactor @ Anvil
Rapidly casts single magic bolts with higher damage than the Demonite Staff, piercing twice.
(This one doesn't really contain much of the Japanese focus of the other Cobalt gear, but I did get in the styling of the gold crossguard from the sword.)
Name: Palladium Tristaff
Damage: 26
Use Time: 30 (Average, Autofire)
Velocity: 7
Mana: 12
Crafting: 12x Palladium Bar, 10x Crystal Shard or 1x Beam Reactor @ Anvil
Slowly casts triple magic bolts in a 45 degree spread that pierce once, but with lower damage than the Cobalt staff.
Name: Mythril Staff
Damage: 34
Use Time: 20 (Very Fast, Autofire)
Velocity: 11
Mana: 14
Crafting: 10x Mythril Bar, 15x Crystal Shard or 2x Beam Reactor @ Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil
Rapidly casts single magic bolts with higher damage and speed than the Cobalt Staff, piercing twice.
(This one's sprite took a while to finalize and make not look completely off color-wise. It's styled after the Mythril Sword.)
Name: Orichalcum Tribolt
Damage: 28
Use Time: 28 (Average, Autofire)
Velocity: 7
Mana: 15
Crafting: 12x Orichalcum Bar, 15x Crystal Shard or 2x Beam Reactor @ Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil
Slowly casts triple magic bolts in a 30 degree spread that pierce once, but with lower damage and velocity than the Mythril Staff.
(I am completely open to replacement sprites on this one. I was trying so hard to not make it look derpy and ended up giving up because it's way too much of a pain. If you want to try your hand at it you are more than welcome to.)
Name: Adamantite Staff
Damage: 37
Use Time: 24 (Fast, Autofire)
Velocity: 12
Mana: 16
Crafting: 12x Adamantite Bar, 20x Crystal Shard or 3x Beam Reactor @ Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil
Rapidly casts single magic bolts with higher damage and velocity than the Mythril Staff, but slower, piercing three times.
Name: Tritanium Staff (yes, I just made that pun)
Damage: 30
Use Time: 27 (Average, Autofire)
Velocity: 8
Mana: 18
Crafting: 13x Titanium Bar, 20x Crystal Shard or 3x Beam Reactor @ Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil
Slowly casts triple magic bolts in a 20 degree spread that pierce twice, but with lower damage and velocity than the Adamantite Staff.
(This staff. I pity the poor soul who had to work with Titanium. There's a reason why it's commonly recommended that you use minimal colors with spriting- this is a great demonstration of it. Just getting the colors right was a nightmare, and then getting it to look right (which I'm still not satisfied with it) was almost as difficult. This thing just... never again.)
Feedback would be much appreciated. (I have ideas for potentially going to Chlorophyte, but haven't decided whether or not to go quite that far. After all, by that point you're likely to have better magic weapons.)

No images for these ones at the immediate moment.
Name: Prisma Gem
Crafting: 1x Amethyst, 1x Topaz, 1x Sapphire, 1x Emerald, 1x Ruby, 1x Diamond, 5x Crystal Shard @ Adamantite/Titanium Forge
Used primarily for the creation of the two Hallowed staves, as well as Prisma Torches (torches that cycle through the whole rainbow) and potentially an accessory or two. Hallow-themed stuff, basically. A single Prisma Gem can also be combined with 25 Pearlstone to make 25 Rainbow Brick.
Name: Nova Bolt
Damage: 42
Use Time: 20 (Very Fast, Autofire)
Velocity: 12
Mana: 22
Crafting: 12x Hallowed Bar, 8x Prisma Gem @ Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil
Rapidly casts powerful, high-velocity magic bolts that pierce four times, with higher damage and speed than the Adamantite Staff.
Name: Prismatic Tetrastaff
Damage: 30
Use Time: 30 (Average, Autofire)
Velocity: 10
Mana: 24
Crafting: 14x Hallowed Bar, 8x Prisma Gem @ Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil
Casts quadruple magic bolts in a 45 degree spready that pierce three times, though with lower damage, speed, and velocity than the Nova Bolt.

No sprites for these ones either.
Name: Crystal Reactor
Crafting: 1x Amethyst, 1x Topaz, 1x Sapphire, 1x Emerald, 1x Ruby, 1x Diamond, 1x Beam Reactor @ Adamantite/Titanium Forge
Basically the Cyber equivalent of the Prisma Gem. Isn't used for torches, but is used for the aptly-named Lightning Rod and Tetrabolt Reactor.
Name: Lightning Rod
Damage: 44
Use Time: 24 (Fast, Autofire)
Velocity: 16
Mana: 24
Crafting: 13x Cybernetic Bar, 4x Crystal Reactor @ Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil
Fires super-fast lightning bolts that pierce twice, with more damage and speed than the Adamantite Staff.
Name: Tetrabolt Reactor
Damage: 36
Use Time: 58 (Snail)
Velocity: 10
Mana: 26
Crafting: 15x Cybernetic Bar, 4x Crystal Reactor @ Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil
Fires quadruple lightning bolts that pierce infinitely, but does not autofire and is very slow.

No sprites yet, sorry.
Name: True Dusk's Vengeance
Damage: 38
Use Time: 18 (Fast, Autofire)
Velocity: 8
Mana: 22
Crafting: 1x Dusk's Vengeance, 1x Essence of Darkness
The upgrade to Dusk's Vengeance; fires lime green bolts that pierce three times and inflict Cursed Inferno. Fires rapidly, but the projectiles themselves are slow.
Name: True Unholy Destructor
Damage: 46
Use Time: 32 (Slow, Autofire)
Velocity: 12
Mana: 24
Crafting: 1x Unholy Destructor, 1x Essence of Anarchy
And likewise, the upgrade to the Unholy Destructor; slowly fires powerful ichor bolts, which pierce three times and inflict Ichor, and additionally move faster than normal.
Name: True Novic Tetrastaff (Wait, what?)
Damage: 42
Use Time: 36 (Very Slow, Autofire)
Velocity: 8
Mana: 24
Crafting: 1x Nova Bolt, 1x Prismatic Tetrastaff, 1x Essence of Light (ohhhh)
Since I couldn't decide how I wanted to handle the anti-evil staves, I just decided to go this route. Using an Essence of Light to bind the two together, we have a fusion of the functionality of the two weapons, delivering spreads of 4 potent multicolored bolts, each of which explodes into smaller fragments (about 3 per bolt) with 1/4 of the damage upon impacting something. Does not pierce.
Name: True Arc Reactor
Damage: 36
Use Time: 34 (Slow, Autofire)
Velocity: 14
Mana: 26
Crafting: 1x Lightning Rod, 1x Tetrabolt Reactor, 1x Essence of Order
A fusion of the two Cyber staves of sorts, the True Arc Reactor fires potent lightning bolts that pierce infinitely, but additionally leave behind trails of cyphers, which each do 13 damage and last about a second. Bolts will only last for about a second and a half, but will bounce off walls infinitely until the timer runs out.
Name: True Dusk's Vengeance
Damage: 38
Use Time: 18 (Fast, Autofire)
Velocity: 8
Mana: 22
Crafting: 1x Dusk's Vengeance, 1x Essence of Darkness

Still no sprites.
Name: Terra Scepter
Damage: 42
Use Time: 20 (Very Fast, Autofire)
Velocity: 10
Mana: 28
Crafting: 1x True Dusk's Vengeance, 1x True Novic Tetrastaff, 1x Balanced Essence (Corruption/Hallow)
And here we have the first of the terra staves- the Terra Scepter. Like Tobbvald's Terra Blade, this exhibits traits from both component weapons, but this time a bit different. The Terra Scepter fires dual bolts, one cursed flame bolt from True Dusk's Vengeance and one novic bolt from the True Novic Tetrastaff, both of which fly straight forward and move in a tight "circle" around each other. (If it were in a 3D medium, the bolts would move in a double helix pattern.) Both bolts do the same amount of damage, with the cursed flame bolt inflicting cursed inferno and the novic bolt shattering into fragments.
Name: Terra Rod
Damage: 62
Use Time: 40 (Very Slow)
Velocity: 16
Mana: 30
Crafting: 1x True Unholy Destructor, 1x True Arc Reactor, 1x Balanced Essence (Crimson/Cyber)
And here's the second, the equivalent to the Terra Cleaver. This one instead fires powerful single bolts that act similar to those from the Arc Reactor, piercing and bouncing infinitely, and leaving an Ichor-inflicting trail behind. The trail does 24 damage, and instead last two seconds, while the bolts themselves last to and a half seconds instead of one and a half.
Name: Terra Scepter
Damage: 42

Name: Chlorophyte Scepter
Damage: 52
Use Time: 12 (Very Fast, Autofire)
Velocity: 8
Mana: 26
Crafting: 14x Chlorophyte Bar, 8x Ectoplasm @ Mythril Anvil
Rapidly fires single magic bolts that can bounce once and pierce three times, having high damage and cast rate, but slower velocity.
Name: Chlorophyte Splitstaff
Damage: 35
Use Time: 32 (Slow, Autofire)
Velocity: 12
Mana: 28
Crafting: 16x Chlorophyte Bar, 10x Ectoplasm
Rapidly fires sets of five magic bolts in a 90 degree spread that can bounce and pierce three times total. Lower damage, but more room-flooding potential.
