Type 2 Phaser

The Type 2 Phaser appears in the Magicka: Frontier update and can only be obtained with the "Frontier Wizard" wizard model as the default starting weapon.

Abilities

 * It is a ranged weapon, and behaves like a firearm. It is identical to the M1911 in base damage and rate of fire.
 * Unlike the M1911, it deals lightning damage, meaning it deals double damage versus wet opponents.

Pros

 * Ranged
 * Much more powerful than the M1911 versus wet opponents

Cons

 * Low damage per second
 * Useless versus lightning-resistant foes
 * It's set to "stun," not "kill"

Trivia
The Type 2 Phaser is one of only four ranged weapons available as default weapons. Like the Blunt Blade, the Type 2 Phaser has likely been set to "stun" to prevent accidental injury.
