A magical scepter is a [spell](../spells/spells) casting weapon that has 9 additional monster variants. 
Each [scepter](../scepters/scepters) has both a spell that can be cast on attack and a spell that is casted when the item is used.


## Obtaining

### Crafting

The magical scepter can be [crafted](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Crafting) using a [scepter](scepter), [lapis lazuli](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Lapis_Lazuli) and a [brown mushroom](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Brown_Mushroom).

### Generated Loot

The [old taiga cabin](../structures/old_taiga_cabin) structure contains a chest with loot that always has either a [scepter](scepter) or a magical scepter. 
| Item    | Stack size | Weight | Chance |
| ------- | ---------- | ------ | ------ |
| <Asset width={16} height={16} location="magicalscepter:scepter" title="Scepter" /> [Scepter](./scepter) | 1 | 5 / 7 | 71.4% |
| **<Asset width={16} height={16} location="magicalscepter:magical_scepter" title="Magical Scepter" /> Magical Scepter** | 1 | 2 / 7 | 28.6% |

### Mob Loot

When a [sorcerer](../entities/sorcerer) is killed there is a small chance (8.5%) of dropping a magical scepter; 
the drop rate increases by 1% per level of Looting: 9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III. 


## Usage

### Casting

Each [scepter](../scepters/scepters) variant has two ways to cast a [spell](../spells/spells); 
either attack with the item to cast the attack spell or use the item to cast the protect spell.
In order to cast a spell the [scepter](../scepters/scepters) requires the player to have enough [experience](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Experience) to cast a spell.
When a spell is being cast a cooldown will be imposed on the use of any magical scepter with a duration based on the [spell](../spells/spells).

### Durability

Casting a spell costs 1 [durability](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Durability). 
When the item breaks it will be replaced by a [scepter](scepter), which can be crafted back into a magical scepter. 
The [scepter](scepter) will keep the enchantments of the broken magical scepter, but it will lose the possible infusion.

## Enchantments

[Insight](./insight), [Unbreaking](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Unbreaking), [mending](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Mending) 
and [curse of vanishing](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Curse_of_Vanishing) are compatible with the magical scepter.
